InflexionPoint Podcast: Cultivating Change from the Inside Out: Movement in the Struggle for Identity"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again."—Maya Angelou

 The struggle for self-identification, cultural self-determination, autonomy, equality, and equity—it's all the same struggle across the spectrum of the Great Migration through 5 Historic Movements. The generational sentiment among Black people boils down to this: Leave us alone so we can freely and peacefully exist in the skin in which we are born.

Great Migration (1916-1970) - movement from rural Southern states to urban Northern states occurring before and after the Great Depression.

Harlem Renaissance - a cultural explosion drawing great minds and talent, artists and scholars. Beyond Harlem the renaissance include cities like Detroit, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, and others, all being shaped by the Great Migration.

Civil Rights Movement (1940s and 1960s) - multi-decade struggle for social justice, equal rights, and an end to discrimination and violence against Black people.

Black Nationalist Movement (1960s and 1970s) - political, social, and economic movement in the seeking to create a sense of community, identity apart from assimilation, and a sense of pride.

Black Power Movement (1960s and 1970s) - revolutionary movement emphasizing cultural pride, economic empowerment, the creation of political and cultural institutions, and the development of Kwanzaa principles.

Global Black Lives Matter Movement (2013 to current) - abolitionist movement founded in response to the acquittal of  the murderer of Trayvon Martin, on a mission to eradicate racism, white supremacy, and acts of violence against Black people.
