The emergence of Black Power radicalism after 1966 forever changed the socio-political landscape of American society and marked the beginning of grassroots activism that reflected the sentiments of marginalized Black people. Ideologically and aesthetically, Black Power as a concept took on a myriad of perceptions by society as whole. Most often and consequential to the urban rebellions of the latter 1960s, Black Power is perceived only as a violent force of declination juxtaposed to the socio-historically accepted activities of Civil Rights Movement. Conversely, this paper investigates an often-omitted historical legacy and site of the Black Power movement that embodied educational self-determinism, the Communiversity of Chicago. By providing counter-hegemonic information and educational services, the Communiversity was a training ground that highlighted three critical elements which were essential to the overall Black Freedom Movement: ideological rigor, educational praxis, and the development/maintenance of student-community relationships. While giving focus to the Communiversity, this paper centers the role of education in the overall movement as a tenet paramount to the liberation of Black people. Furthermore, this work also deconstructs the notion that Black Power movement organizations solely existed and operated in erratic formations.
