A Think Tank based in Atlanta, the Institute of the Black World sought to answer Martin Luther King Jr.'s question "Where do we go from here?" Its pragmatic solution was to organize a broad array of leading Black activists, scholars, and intellectuals to develop academic, political, and cultural strategies designed to expand the Black Freedom Struggle into a new decade.

Derrick E. White is associate professor of history at Florida Atlantic University and contributor to "We Shall Independent Be": African American Place-Making and the Struggle to Claim Space in the United States.
