...African Americans (also referred to as Black Americans or Afro-Americans) are citizens or residents of the United States who have origins in any of the black populations of Africa. In the United States, the terms are generally used for Americans with at least partial Sub-Saharan African ancestry. Most African Americans are the direct descendants of captive Africans who survived the slavery era within the boundaries of the present United States, although some are—or are descended from—immigrants from African, Caribbean, Central American or South American nations. As an adjective, the term is usually spelled African-American. "African American" in the American Heritage Dictionary Read full entry

Why did some African Americans When answering this question
please take into account that
African Americans responded in
different ways according to
different factors such as age,
life experience, family
responsibilities, fear,
religion, education, economic
position, individual traits
and whether they lived in the
city or the suburbs. How did
these factors influence
African-American support,
avoidance or rejection of the
Civil Rights Movement?

There were two phases of civil rights. The first was more a struggle for integration while the second was a Black Power movement. The first being non-violent was able to draw in more traditional and broader support. As civil rights moved away from non-violence as a means, it became harder to get a broad base. From Shmoop |
