[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4937885, member: 18222"] I remember when Afro-American was what civil rights activists (Malcolm X in particular) called themselves. I think Black won the battle and now of course African American is the popular phrase. Who knows what the next group of civil rights activists want to call themselves. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.britannica.com/topic/African-American[/URL] [I]Afro-American[/I] was adopted by [URL='https://www.britannica.com/topic/civil-rights']civil rights[/URL] activists to underline pride in their ancestral homeland, but [I]Black[/I]—the symbol of power and revolution—proved more popular. All these terms are still reflected in the names of dozens of organizations. [/QUOTE]
