While exploring the 1970s underground, I stumbled upon a reference to the Republic of New Afrika, which was to consolidate the states of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana into a separate Black nation.
It's not clear from the items I've found if the organizers ever agreed on form of government, but the nation would be created using $400 billion in reparations for chattel slavery and institutional discrimination. The map shows the new republic and its constituent states.
Though the actual nation was never formed, the ideals that inspired it in 1968 are still present.
