Question

Most black Americans did not align with the black power movement, preferring to work through the established political system. Yet the era of black power overlapped with an expansion of black Americans' mainstream political power. Assess the significance of the black power movement in this light. By posing a radical, militant alternative, did it contribute to the gains made by the black community generally? Or did its militancy hinder the black community more than it helped it.
