Context paragraphs:
African-American bookstores: African-American bookstores, also known as black bookstores, are bookstores owned and operated by African Americans.  These stores often, although not always, specialize in works by and about African Americans and their target customers are often African Americans.  Although they are a variety of African-American business, African American bookstores have often been closely tied to radical political movements including Marxism, Black Power, and pan-Africanism. The first documented African-American bookstore was established by the abolitionist David Ruggles in 1834.  One of the earliest African-American bookstores to achieve national prominence was Lewis Michaux's National Memorial African Bookstore, which operated in Harlem from the early 1930s to the middle of the 1970s.  Michaux's store doubled as a meeting place for black activists, including most famously Malcolm X.  The Black Power movement embraced black-owned bookstores in the 1960s and '70s as vehicles for promoting their ideology and creating radical political spaces in black communities across the United States.  By the 1990s, African-American bookstores earned significant attention from more politically moderate and business oriented media outlets such as the magazine Black Enterprise.  In the 2000s and 2010s, however, as independent bookstores of all kinds declined and bookstores chains and Amazon increasingly sold black-authored books, the number of African-American bookstores declined rapidly, dropping from over 250 to just over 70.

James Bevel: James Luther Bevel (October 19, 1936 – December 19, 2008) was a minister and leader of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States.  As the Director of Direct Action and of Nonviolent Education of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), he initiated, strategized, directed, and developed SCLC's three major successes of the era: the 1963 Birmingham Children's Crusade, the 1965 Selma voting rights movement, and the 1966 Chicago open housing movement.  He suggested that SCLC call for and join a March on Washington in 1963.  Bevel later strategized the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches, which contributed to Congressional passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Black Power Revolution: The Black Power Revolution, also known as the "Black Power Movement", 1970 Revolution, Black Power Uprising and February Revolution, was an attempt by a number of social elements, people and interest groups in Trinidad and Tobago to force socio-political change.

Obi Egbuna: Obi Benue Egbuna (18 July 1938 – 18 January 2014) was a Nigerian-born novelist, playwright and political activist, most famous for leading the United Coloured People’s Association (UCPA) and being a member of the British Black Panther Movement (1968–72).  Egbuna also published several texts on Marxist–Black Power, including "Destroy This Temple: The Voice of Black Power in Britain" (1971) and "The ABC of Black Power Thought" (1973).

Styles and themes of Robert E. Howard: The distinctive literary styles and themes of Robert E. Howard rely on a combination of many factors.  In his fiction, he used devices borrowed from classical and traditional works, as well as formal rhetoric.  In his poetry, he used rhythm, stress, and intonation to achieve a sense of motion.  Some of his fiction has been described as prose poetry.  His works can be distinguished by his use of violence and hate as positive forces in his universe, which can be seen as a part of the American Myth.  In keeping with the era in which he worked, a grim and hardboiled theme pervades.  The continuing cycle of civilisation and barbarism is highlighted in several works.  Although he died before it was formally defined, an existentialism subtext runs through his writing.  He was an aesthete and had affinity for romanticism and neo-romanticism, although in this he was out of step with his era.

Seize the Time (book): Seize The Time: The Story of The Black Panther Party and Huey P. Newton is a 1970 book by political activist Bobby Seale.  It was recorded in San Francisco County Jail between November 1969 and March 1970, by Art Goldberg, a reporter for the San Francisco Bay Guardian.  An advocacy book on the cause and principles of the Black Panther Party, "Seize The Time" is considered a staple in Black Power literature.

Black Power and the American Myth: Black Power and the American Myth is a 1970 book by Reverend C. T. Vivian that analyzes the Civil Rights Movement.  Before writing "Black Power and the American Myth", Vivian had been an activist, a member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and a member of its Executive Staff along with Martin Luther King, Jr., Andrew Young, James Bevel and others.  Besides King, Vivian was the first member of SCLC's staff to write a book about the Civil Rights Movement, and his access gave readers a first-hand account of the thoughts and motivations of the movement's leaders.

Black Power: The Politics of Liberation: Black Power: The Politics of Liberation is a 1967 book co-authored by Kwame Ture (formerly known as Stokely Carmichael) and political scientist Charles V. Hamilton.  The work defines Black Power, presents insights into the roots of racism in the United States and means of reforming the traditional political process for the future.

Tommie Smith: Tommie C. Smith (born June 6, 1944) is an American former track & field athlete and wide receiver in the American Football League.  At the 1968 Summer Olympics, Smith, aged 24, won the 200-meter sprint finals and gold medal in 19.83 seconds – the first time the 20-second barrier was broken legally.  His Black Power salute with John Carlos atop the medal podium to protest the harsh, and sometimes deadly discrimination against African-Americans because of their skin color in the United States caused controversy as it was seen as politicizing the Olympic Games.  It remains a symbolic moment in the history of the Black Power movement.

Black Power movement: The Black Power movement was a political movement to achieve a form of Black Power and the many philosophies it contains.  The movement saw various forms of activism some violent and some peaceful, all hoping to achieve black empowerment.  The Black Power movement also represented socialist movements, all with the general motivation of improving the standing of black people in society.  Originated during the Civil Rights Movement, some doubted the philosophy of the movement begging for more radical action, taking influences from Malcolm X.  The cornerstone of the movement was the Black Panther Party, a Black Power organization dedicated to socialism and the use of violence to achieve it.  The Black Power movement developed amidst the criticisms of the Civil Rights Movement in the early 1960s, and over time and into the 1970s, the movement grew and became more violent.  After years of violence, many left the movement and the police began arresting violent actors in the movement.  The Black Power movement also spilled out into the Caribbean creating the Black Power Revolution.
