On this day, 1,000 Black activists from 25 states gathered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to officially establish the National Black Independent Political Party (NBIPP). The party was created in response to frustrations with the Democratic and Republican parties’ failure to address the political and economic needs of Black communities.
Led by figures like Ron Daniels, NBIPP sought to promote Black self-determination, economic justice, and grassroots organizing. Though it never became a major political force, it marked a pivotal moment in the history of independent Black political organizing in the United States.
