Abstract
the black community from an historical perspective one can readily discern various dominant themes or ideologies in the black American's struggle for social, political, and economic equality in the United States. Ideology refers to the body of ideas and sentiments reflecting the social aspirations and needs of Afro-Americans in a largely Anglo-Saxon dominated society. Early in the twentieth century three of the more prominent themes were those of Booker T. Washington's communal self-improvement, W.E.B. DuBois' struggle for legal equality, and Marcus Garvey's development of race pride.1 For the next two decades one saw the development of the civil rights movement with its emphasis on integration and assimilation. Much of the impetus for this movement was carried by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. After the 1954 Supreme Court decision they were joined by other black groups and later by white sympathizers to form a coalition in the assault on racism and discrimination.
