Is “BLACK” a racial label — or was it originally a political identity?
In this presentation, we examine the 1930 Constitution and Preamble of the #Ethiopian World Federation Incorporated, where the term “BLACK” appears in formal institutional language referring to the people formerly identified as “Negro” and “Colored.”
Was this one of the earliest organized political uses of the term in the United States?
We then trace how the word evolved:
• 1930 — EWF constitutional identity language
• 1960s — Stokely Carmichael and “Black Power”
• 1970s — “Black is Beautiful” cultural affirmation
• 1980s — Jesse Jackson and the rise of “African American”
Is “Black” biological? Cultural?
Or a strategic political designation that later became racialized?
This lecture explores the historical development of identity terminology in the United States and its implications for today.
