that it shall include "all" people of African descent

African Unity established (by African heads of States)
at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in May, 1963.(.\

eliminate differences between Negroes so they can work
together for "human rights," while the initial objective
is to “internationalise" the American civil rights move-
ment 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 edycation, politics, culture, economics, and
social reform
