Black Declaration of Independence The Black Declaration of Independence was a declaration of perceived African-American concerns and rights that followed the spirit and some style of the United States Declaration of Independence, but conveyed a disgruntled, progressive message of dissatisfaction with the status of African-Americans in the United States of America in the brief few years following the civil rights activism of the 1960s.

The Black Declaration of Independence was broadcast via a full-page advertisement in the New York Times on July 03, 1970. This declaration was endorsed by 40 signatories and was published "by Order and on behalf of Black People."
