(MMI), publicly announced the formation of a new, all-Negro, militant civil rights action group to be known aS the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU), with himself as Chairman. This announcement was made at a public rally held by the MMI in the Audubon Ballroom, Broadway and 166th Streets, New York City. A printed and published statement of basic OAAU aims read by Malcolm X at this meeting indicates that it shall include "all" pepple of African descent in the Western Hemisphere, as well as “our” brothers and wisters on the ifrican continent. It is patterned after’the “letter and spirit" of the Organization of African Unity established (by African heads of States) at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in May, 1963. A recording of the remarks of Malcolm X at this meeting indicates that the aim of the OAAU is to eliminate differences between Negroes so they can work together for “Human Rights," while the initial objective is to "“inter-nationalize" the American civil rights movement by taking it to the United Nations. Little condemned the nonviolent ci~il rights movement and claims that Negroes should be taught to protect themselves, when and if necessary. The OAAU will sponsor a program for Negroes in education, politics, culture, economics and social reform. 2- < Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, \965, while addressing an OAAU ral*y at the Audubon Ballroom, New York City.
