Shifts in Civil Rights movement.

Explanation:

Black panther party and the black power movements represent a shift in the civil rights movement because they took greater inspiration by the principles of autonomy, determination, and racial superiority which was revealed by Malcolm X. In 1960 and 1970s, also the several liberation movements which flourished in the nation like Asia, latin America, Africa created focus on social, political and economical authority of their own instead of integration from Racial superior society.

Black power also advocated for greater militant groups such as Black Panther Party who did not avoid the usage of violence and also supported Malcom X's challenge to achieve justice and freedom by "any means necessary".

The shift is necessary because Black power focuses in self determination rather than only fighting for civil rights. The slogan 'black power' demands for self sufficient economic, political and culture reformations for black which was narrowly defined during civil right reforms.
