Black Power! 19th Century illuminates the courageous and powerful work of Newark’s Black activists and artists in the 19th century. Newark’s 1960s Black Power Movement and 1967 Rebellion dominate discussions about African American activism in Newark. However, many of the powerful ideas about saving Black lives that are evident in Black liberation struggles in the 1960s were dramatically birthed by Newark’s Black artists and activists in the 19th century.
