Hine, C. Darlene. Hine, C. William. Harrold, Stanley. The African-American Odyssey: Special Edition. New Jersey: Pearson, 2009. Print.
In “The African American Odyssey”, I learned the most information about my topic. I learned how 1965, no one had more influence than Malcolm X. Malcolm X had influence over young black activist and the residents of the ghettoized inner cities. Malcolm said “Revolutions are never based upon love-your-enemy, and pray-for-those-who-despitefully-use you. And revolutions are never waged by singing ‘We Shall Overcome.’ Revolutions are based on bloodshed.” Malcolm’s militant advocacy of self-defense, of “overturning systems” that deprive African Americans of basic human rights influenced other Black Power Movement leaders.
I also learned about Stokely Carmichael and his role in the Black Power Movement. Carmichael dismissed the idea of interracial collaboration. In the March of 1966 Carmichael was shot and wounded by a white gunmen. Later that year in June, Carmichael started popularizing the slogan “Black Power”. Carmichael said “The only way we gonna stop them white men from whippin’ us, is to take over. We been saying freedom for six years and we ain’t got nothin’. What we gonna start saying is Black Power.”
In this resource, I also learned about the Black Panther Party. The Black Panther Party was a group formed by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. The Black Panther Party supported self-defense against superior whites. Whites also feared the Black Panthers because of the way they appeared, they walked around with guns and spears to intimidate people.
This resource was by far the most information and credible. The source was a textbook that was about this time of the decade. The source did not provide too much information or too little information. I believe this resource was very credible and unbiased. I also think it was unsubjective and was very reliable. It went into depth with the 5 W’s and it answer the guiding questions. I think “The African-American Odyssey” was both primary and secondary because a lot of the information contained proof, like quotes. It was also secondary because it was given by different references.
This source was the most helpful to my research. After getting the answers to my focus questions from the other sources, this provided the answers to the guiding questions and went further in depth. This resource also provided me with a list of other sources where the information came from which was rather useful. This source answered all my questions. When I read this, I came up with my focus questions and created my presentation. This was what most of my information came from. Although I still have one question, which is… Why did the violent approach work better than the non-violent approach?

In this source I learned significant dates of the Black Power Movement. One thing that I learned was which significant leaders to the movement were ministers. Which is significant because it shows how religion played a role in the movement. It also shows how many people had a prior background in leadership. Another thing I learned was which ministers became elected in to politics during and after the movement which turns out to be a significant amount. From this almanac I found the specific dates to important events. I also found the times when the people of the Black Power Movement became influential. The author gives various amounts of information of a person, however it does not give me information for why that happened for the rest of that information I found it in my other sources. The almanac showed me when Malcolm X was assassinated, which showed me events that occurred after. This was helpful because it showed that everything that happened after was a reaction from the African American people. In my guiding questions, this almanac answered the when part because an almanac is a calendar of significant events. I honestly did not use this source other than the dates I got my information from other sources.
This source was credible and true. It was useful if you needed a specific date and a very brief description of the event or person. The resource was most useful for finding out when things happened and what happened after them. The resource did answer one of the 5 W’s, which was of when the things happened. The source was not biased in the sense of the information it provided. But I feel it could have been objective of the people it provided information of and the specific dates it gave, for example there was no information of Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton (the founders of the Black Panther Party). I believe this source was primary because it just provided the dates and general information. The reliability of the author was great, I only used this source for the dates and information of significant leaders. And if I was not sure of the date, I searched for it else where.
From this source, I used it to provide a general background of the people in my presentation. For example I used it to provide information on Malcolm X and how he was a minister. I also used it to determine significant dates for my topic, for example when I said how when Malcolm X was assassinated it led to a series of events. In my presentation I stated the next series of events. I used this almanac to provide most of the dates in my presentation and for the researching our guiding questions. When I first read this I had questions, but I have found the answers in my other sources therefore, I do not have any further questions.

Levy, B. Peter. The Civil Rights Movement. Connecticut: Greenwood Press, 1998. Print.
From this source I learned more information on Malcolm X and the events that led up to the Black Power Movement. This book had information on the events that infuriated the people and made them take a violent approach. For example I learned about the March on Washington and the positive and negative a peaceful protest had. The negative effects over weighted the positive ones. Another thing I learned is how one of the NAACP members stated that the only thing they were getting was their people getting placed in jail. I also learned about Malcolm X and how he started supporting African Americans protecting themselves with self defense. I also learned that the Civil Rights Movement led up to the Black Power Movement. This book was very useful because it gave me the answer to what led up to the event, which was part of the researching our guiding questions. It also provided me with some info of the people's perspective about the issue. This resource also answered who because it showed who reverted from the Civil Rights movement to the Black Power Movement, for example Malcolm X. It also shows why the people were infuriated with a non-violent approach.
This source was on good but at the same time it provided too much information. Since it was a book based on the civil rights, it provided information some information that was irrelevant to my topic. The information in the book was correct and it actually happened. The information in this book did cover various guiding questions and it answered some questions for my presentation as well. By the information being true, I would say source was credible. Although I do think this source was biased and only provided viewpoints of certain individuals. I believe the author left out some information he wanted to leave out. The information left out I found in other resources. This source was secondary because it was not given from an individual who lived through it, and it was written from another person. The reliability of this author was great, although I believe it was a tad bit biased.
The information I got out of it helped me answer the guiding questions and create my powerpoint. It also helped me elaborate on why the Black Power Movement happened. I used the information on Malcolm X for my presentation. This book was useful, as well as not useful. If I was not providing information on what led up to the Black Power Movement it would be un-useful and not relevant. As I said, I used this to answer guiding questions and create my presentation. I do not have any further questions because I have already searched for them and found the answers. After reading this, I needed to look up other sources that were more relevant to what happened in my topic.

The Black Power Movement was the opposite of the Civil Rights Movement. The Black Power Movement supported self defense against racial injustice from white people. I also learned how the Civil Rights Movement was intended for the South and the Black Power Movement for the West. I learned how white superiors would abused African American’s when they arrested them. When the Black Panther Party formed they would go onsite where an African American was getting arrested and supervise that they would not abuse their power. I read of how the Black Panther Party was formed and how they named themselves the “Black Panther Party for Self Defense”. I also learned about how Malcolm X set the foundation for the Black Power Movement.

The information provided in the text was correct and did not mislead me. The text answered my guiding questions and it was credible. This information was from a textbook and it was not biased or objective.
