If African Americans had their own political party, it is likely that their key beliefs would have centered around advocating for civil rights, racial equality, and economic justice for their community. Their solutions may have included policies aimed at combating systemic racism, promoting diversity and inclusion, and addressing economic disparities. Additionally, they may have pushed for increased access to education, healthcare, and affordable housing for African Americans. The party may have also focused on criminal justice reform and police accountability.
