The Black Power movement also drew inspiration from international movements, including the African independence movements and the Cuban Revolution. Organizations such as the Committee of Concerned Asian Scholars and the Asian Americans for Action have sought to build transpacific solidarities and promote international cooperation on issues such as human rights and social justice.
