Black Nationalism
Black Nationalism, Black Separatism or Revolutionary Black Nationalism advocates social, political, and economic empowerment of black communities and people, especially to resist assimilation into white culture (through integration or otherwise), and maintain a distinct black identity. They propose that Africans in the United States were a nation within a nation "New Afrika", and that this nation is subject to Internal colonialism.

History
Pan-Africanism
Black Nationalism emerged from and is also seen as synonymous with Pan-Africanism. Pan-Africanism is a belief that "African people, both on the continent and in the diaspora, share not merely a common history, but a common destiny". As such Pan-Africanism aims to encourage and strengthen bonds of solidarity between all indigenous and diaspora ethnic groups of African descent. Modern Pan-Africanism began around the start of the 20th century. The African Association, later renamed the Pan-African Association, was established around 1897 by Henry Sylvester Williams, who organized the First Pan-African Conference in London in 1900.
