Black right movements
The Tech Realist
"Black right movements" is a broad term that can encompass several distinct movements. If you're referring to conservative political movements within the Black community, these emphasize individual self-reliance, limited government, and traditional values.[1][2] This contemporary Black conservatism gained traction after the Civil Rights era, as legal discrimination diminished and a Black middle class emerged.[1]
Alternatively, if you're referring to the broader struggle for civil rights, the American Civil Rights Movement was a mass protest movement against racial segregation and discrimination that gained prominence in the mid-1950s.[3] This movement utilized nonviolent protest and civil disobedience to achieve legislative changes like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.[4][5][3][6]

The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement emerged in 2013, sparked by Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi using the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter after George Zimmerman's acquittal in the killing of Trayvon Martin.[1][2][3][4] It gained significant national recognition with street demonstrations following the 2014 deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.[1]
BLM is a decentralized political and social movement that aims to highlight systemic racism, discrimination, and racial inequality experienced by Black people, primarily focusing on issues like police brutality and racially motivated violence.[1][5] The movement advocates for policy changes related to Black liberation and criminal justice reform.[1] Its goals include exposing institutional violence against Black populations, encouraging empathy, and working towards policy changes for safety and inclusivity.[2]
The movement utilizes social media coordination, peaceful protests, and "die-ins" to raise awareness about racial injustice.[2] It saw a dramatic increase in global attention and participation during 2020 following the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, with an estimated 15 to 26 million people participating in protests in the United States, making it one of the largest protest movements in the country's history.[1][3]
While widely supported, the Black Lives Matter movement has also faced criticism. Some criticisms include concerns about its decentralized structure, lack of specific demands, and the focus on police brutality over other issues like Black-on-Black crime.[6][7] Some critics also argue that the movement has been "unfocused" and has not achieved significant police reform.[6][8]
