Explain fully how the Black Power Movement was able to reduce the dependence of black people on white people.​

Black Power was a political movement among Black Americans in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It emphasized the expression of a new racial consciousness among blacks in the United States. In a broader sense, the term refers to the conscious choice that Black Americans made to promote their collective interests and values, to protect their own well-being, and to gain some degree of autonomy.

Unlike the civil rights activists of the 1950s, who wanted the same rights for blacks as for whites, the Black Power movement that emerged in the 1960s often wanted to go even further and gain economic and political autonomy for blacks, and become free from what was perceived as the white authority. While the civil rights movement eventually gained strong support for its views among all sections of the population, there were many, even blacks, who felt that the most radicals in Black Power in the 1970s went too far in using political force and advocating black nationalism.
