Answer and Explanation:

Both the Black Power movement and the Red Power movement were movements of self-determination, that is, they were movements that sought the right to self-rule, without external intervention, since only in this way would the security of the rights of the Afro-American population and the Native American population be guaranteed.

These two movements are related to the current methods of activism, because they seek to defend a social minority, while claiming their rights, security and freedoms to the federal government as a way to guarantee a fair and safe experience.

It is important to note that the Black Power movement refers to the self-determination of African American society, while the Red Power movement refers to the self-determination of Native American society.
