I Never Had It Made

The Black Power Movement socio-political movement in the United States in the 1960s and 70s focused on racial pride and economic empowerment for African Americans. Black separatists, who believed in a separate state for African Americans, existed within this movement, as did black nationalists, who were more concerned with matters of justice. Typically, these groups were in conflict with black civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., who stressed racial integration and nonviolence. Robinson had several high-profile squabbles with Malcolm X and other members of the Black Power Movement. 

The civil rights movement in the United States lasted from the mid-1950s until the 1970s, most notably under the guidance of Martin Luther King Jr., who stressed nonviolence and civil disobedience to bring about social and political change. The primary aims of the civil rights movement were putting an end to racial discrimination, segregation, and injustice. Robinson was very vocal in support of King and the civil rights movement. 

In the United States, a court martial is a court or trial convened to try members of the United States military for violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Robinson faced a court martial stemming from a racist incident at Fort Hood, Texas, but was acquitted on all charges.
