The Black Hammer Party, formerly the Black Hammer Organization and commonly known as the Black Hammers, was an American black nationalist group that advocated black separatism, socialism, decolonization, and political violence. The organization was founded in Atlanta, Georgia in 2019, by ex-members of the African People's Socialist Party, and rose to prominence in the early 2020s amidst the George Floyd protests and the 2020–2023 United States racial unrest, when it attempted to construct a compound in the Rocky Mountains which it named "Hammer City." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution described the organization as "a disruptive force on Atlanta’s radical left," mixing "communism and Black nationalism," "pairing far-left revolutionary rhetoric with combative populism," and mixing "Black nationalist rhetoric and a revolutionary message with hot-button issues like anti-vaccine myths and election conspiracies." The group reportedly recruited members from homeless populations in the United States. Seen as a "radical leftist socialist group," it called for an 'anti-capitalist revolution', independent Black state that would comprise a part of the territory of the United States, and reparations from 'white colonizers'. By 2025, the domain blackhammer.org had been put on sale. In January 2025, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the organization's leader, known as Gazi Kodzo, was "out of the activist business" after the criminal charges against them were dropped, and that the group was "in shambles" as their social media pages "have been dormant for the past year or longer." In December 2024, Gazi Kodzo was still referred to as the party's leader in present tense, but by late January 2025, they were described as the former leader instead. Given Kodzo's hegemonic position in the party, its complete inactivity, and no known new leader or notable members, the party is presumed to have been dissolved.
