The movement was mostly labor strikes, marches, and protests. On the 6th of April in 1970 a protestor was killed by police and lead to the movement gaining more support and being more active. This lead to a State of Emergency, the arrests of 15 Black Power leaders, mutineers taking hostages at army barracks, and the Coast Guard having to resolve the situation.
