Black pride is a movement which encourages black people to celebrate their respective cultures and embrace their African heritage.

In the United States, it initially developed for African-American culture^[1] and was a direct response to white racism, especially during the civil rights movement.^[2] Stemming from the idea of black power, this movement emphasizes racial pride, economic empowerment, and the creation of political and cultural institutions.^[3] Related movements include black power, black nationalism,^[2] and Afrocentrism.

The black pride movement is very popular in

In the 1960s to 1970s, kente cloth and the Black Panthers uniform were worn in the U.S. as expressions of black pride.^[15] Headscarves were sometimes worn by Nation of Islam and other Black Muslim Movement members as an expression of black pride and a symbol of faith.^[17] Other women used scarves with African prints to cover their hair.^[15]

Maxine Leeds Craig argues that all-black beauty pageants such as Miss Black America were institutionalized forms of black pride created in response to exclusion from white beauty pageants.^[17]
