The Nation of Islam
From Dickinson College Wiki
The NOI was the chief inspiration and benefactor for the Black Power Movement. Tne Nation of Islam developed out of a nexus of political, cultural, and social tumult. Like any social phenomenon, it was a product of its time. Black organizations that were pro-black stuggled with reconciling their own contradictions with black self-love. The Nation of Islam was one of them.
