African-American self-determination

African-American self-determination pertains to the initiatives aimed at achieving self-governance for African-Americans and associated communities in North America. This concept frequently intersects with the historical Back-to-Africa movement and broader Black separatist ideologies. Additionally, it encompasses both contemporary and historical calls for self-determination within North America, which can include aspirations for autonomy or complete independence. A fundamental demand among proponents of African-American self-determination is the ability to exercise personal choices as free individuals and the commitment to self-sufficiency.
