This essay will focus on the positive aspects of the BCM trend of the South African “Black Consciousness Movement” which evolved alongside the African National Congress (ANC) and its establishment.

It will also explore the BCM which, established in 1967, was the power figure for all organizations contributing to the black consciousness perspective.
