Publication Type: Invited Paper Abstract: There is no doubt that the movements of the civil rights era, or what has been called the Minority Rights Revolution (Walton 1988), changed the institutions that structure our lives for the better. Indeed, we take much for granted about the racial practices of the institutions we encounter as a part of the post-civil rights generation. These changes though, were not an automatic outcome of the legislative gains made by the Civil Rights Movement. However, the lack of research into the process of the institutionalization of the rights revolution betrays the fact that in each profession, each educational institution, each health care facility, each academic discipline there were battles to change the everyday practices and procedures that shape the face of each institution. It is particularly surprising that students of the Black Power movement have paid little attention to this institutional activism, given the movement’s focus on building independent black institutions. This paper examines the ways in which black social workers sought to institutionalize Black Power within their profession. In so doing, I examine the content of their movement within the profession and place it in the larger context of the rise of Black Power oriented black professional associations starting in 1966. Overall I argue that the creation of black professional associations, when taken together with the creation of Black Studies programs, Black Student Organizations, and other post 1966 black institutional arrangements, requires a re-thinking of how movements get brought into institutions as well as a re-evaluation of the long-term impacts of the Black Power movement.

Is there a "Theory of Power" in Black Power Movements?
