[[/caption]] The Six Points Of Black Power We believe that Black Power is a very clear and very constructive step toward the realization of liberty, justice, equality with the white man in America. Black Power means the organization of the Negro community into a tight and disciplined group for six purposes: 1. The growth of Black political power. 2. The building of Black economic power. 3. The improvement of the Black man's self-image. 4. The development of Black leadership. 5. The enforcement of Federal human rights laws and the end to police brutality. 6. The mobilization of Black consumer power.
