Black militancy

• 'Black power' and 'black panther' fought for black equality

  Some more radical than others
• Why were there so many riots in 1964?

  NYC, Chicago and Philadelphia were originally set off by police brutality.

  Generally regarding long term problems of city life for blacks
• Helped hasten civil rights legislation, but brought white backlash
• Not helpful when riot torn areas were given federal government aid
• King's Northern Crusade:

  Visit bad and overcrowded black ghettos + improve slums by setting up tenant unions
• Working conditions and teaching youth non violent protest
• It was a failure since there was NO long term change, changing relationship with the media and harder to raise attention on social issues vs segregation issues
