Equal Rights.

Explanation:

Before this time, blacks were "free" but with numerous restrictions. The only difference between their enslavement and "freedom" was that they had more protection and had to be paid for work in most scenarios. After the Black Power Movement, they were entitled to many of the same rights as the average white person, but it would still be years before they were as free as they are today.
