What accounts for the separatist in African American politics? Do you think separatism or the integrationist approach is more or less appropriate?

Question

It is for a discussion board in my African American studies that is based on the Garvey Movement and it is due by tonight. Im stuck and would love help 

Answer 1

The doctrine of separate but equal allowed for discrimination by race everywhere in the United States. After World War II, the African-American soldiers became acutely aware of the inequality they endured, even though they had fought for their country. Most civil rights leaders asked for inclusion in all the benefits and activities that White people enjoyed. However, some of the Black civil rights leaders believed that the only way equality could be achieved was to have a separate Black government to ensure that the interests of Black people would be considered.
