Quizplus · Accepted Answer

James Baldwin's reference to a "black God" in "The Fire Next Time" is indicative of the growing interest in the Nation of Islam among Northern black urban neighborhoods during the time he was writing. The Nation of Islam's emphasis on black pride, self-sufficiency, and its own interpretation of Islamic teachings made it appealing to those disillusioned with the mainstream civil rights movement's progress and the predominantly white Christian churches' stance on racial issues.
