APPENDIX
sod ORGANIZATION OF AFRO-AMERICAN UNITY (OAAU)
On June 28, 1964, MALCOLM X LITTLE, founder and
leader of the imsiim Mosque, Incorporated (MMI), publiciy
announced the formation of a new, all Negro, militant civil
rights action group to be known as the Organization of Afré-
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 Street, New York City.
A printed and published statement of basic OAAU aims
read by MALCOLM X at this meeting indicates that it shall
include “aji" people of African descent in the Western
Heuisphere, as well as “our"brothers and sisters on the African
continent. It is patterned after the "letter and spirit” of
<2 the Organization of African Unity established (by African
. heads of States) at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in May, 1963.
cf A recording of the reuarks of MALCOLM X at this
ros 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 ia to “inter~
nationalize” the American civil rights movement by taking it
to the United Nations. LITTLE condemned the non-violent
civil rights movement and claims that Negroes should be
taught to protect themselves, when and if necessary. The
OAAU will sponsor a program for Negroes of education, politics,
culture, economics and social reform.
