ORGANIZATION OF AFRO-AMERICAN
UNITY, INCORPORATED (OAAU)
On June 28, 1964, MALCOLM X LITTLE, founder and
leader of the Muslim Mosque, Incorporated (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 tte Frliroom, Broadway and 166th Street,
New York City Ww)
A printed and published statement of basic
OAAU aims read by MALCOLM X at this meeting indicates
that it shall include "all" people of African descent
in the Western Hemisphere, as well as "our" brothers
and sisters on the African continent. It is patterned
after tne “letter and spirit" of the Organization of
African Unity established (by African heads of States)
at Addis Ababa, Ethicpia, in May, 1963.5)
A recording of the remarks of MALCOLM X at
this meeting indicates that the aim of theQAAU is to
eliminate differences between Negroes so they can work
together for "human rights," while the initial objective
i3 to "irnternationalize" the American civil rights move- |
nent wy 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 edycation, politics, culture, economics, and
social reform\wn
On May 17, 1965, a confidential source advised
that the headquarters of the OAAU are located in MMI head-
quarters, Suite 128, Hotel Theresa, 2090 7th Avenue,
New York City Yo
