The Black Arts Movement was a literary, artistic, and cultural movement that emerged in the mid 1960s as a response to the civil rights movement and the overall struggle for equality and liberation for African Americans. It sought to promote and celebrate the unique cultural identity and experiences of black people, while also advocating for social and political change. The movement encompassed various art forms, including literature, music, visual arts, and theater, and played a significant role in shaping the cultural landscape of the United States during that time.
