Black nationalism

Black nationalism is a movement with the viewpoint that Africans[?] at 'home and abroad' (such as African Americans) share a common heritage and destiny, and often that all people of African ancestry[?] belong to a single nation.

Black nationalism originated with the growth of Nationalism in the 19th century, but only became a significant organized movement early in the 20th century.

"...the effort of thousands of American Negroes (sic) to resolve for themselves this fundamental problem of identity and to provide a context for their moral, cultural, and material advancement within the limits set by the American scene."
