In the 1960s, the country's main urban areas of African-Americans were surrounded by violent outbreaks. Their fundamental cause is long term frustration - police hypersensitivity and atrocities, inadequate education and entertainment facilities, high unemployment rate, poor housing and high price. However, occurrence is almost unplanned. Unlike the previous decades "racial riot", when white people threatened African-Americans, the outbreak in the 1960s was that African Americans used most of the property owned by white people in the neighborhood of blacks I robbed it and incinerated it. The battle took place mainly between African-American youth and the police. Hundreds of people were killed and tens of millions of dollars of property were destroyed.

The new slogan from Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes is "Black is beautiful."
In the Vietnam War, African American soldiers were overly involved, so they broke up black leaders and kicked out the White Liberal Party from the civil rights movement. Some of the leaders of National Association and National Cities Alliance for the progress of colored people have minimized the impact of war on the front of African American families. A more difficult view - US participation is a "racist" invasion to non-white nation issues - other African-American leaders, including the king, have the same view. In April 1968, he organized a poor movement before the assassination of Memphis, Tennessee, a protesting march in Washington, DC.
