Malcolm X and the Creation of the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU)

The Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) was a Pan-Africanist organization founded by Malcolm X  in 1964. The OAAU was modeled on the Organization of African Unity, which had impressed Malcolm X during his visit to Africa in April and May 1964. The purpose of the OAAU was to fight for the human rights of African Americans and promote cooperation among Africans and people of African descent in the Americas.

Malcolm X was Planning to Bring The United States Government Before the United Nations in the Early 1960’s

However, years before, on December 17th 1951, Paul Robeson and  William Patterson delivered the “We Charge Genocide” Petition to the Secretariat of the United Nations in NY

Robeson, DuBois and Patterson

• W. E. B. Du Bois was scheduled to accompany Patterson to Paris, but the U.S. State Department prevented him from leaving the country.
• The book-length petition documented hundreds of lynching cases and other forms of brutality and discrimination, proving a clear pattern of government inaction and complicity.

Lynching in America

• It charged that in the 85 years since the end of slavery more than 10,000 African Americans were known to have been lynched (an average of more than 100 per year), and that the full number can never be known because the murders are often unreported.

The Petition Cited the UN’s Definition of Genocide
“Any intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, racial, or religious group is genocide.”

The Petition Concluded…
. . .the oppressed Negro citizens of the United States, segregated, discriminated against, and long the target of violence, suffer from genocide as the result of the consistent, conscious, unified policies of every branch of government.

If the General Assembly acts as the conscience of mankind and therefore acts favorably on our petition, it will have served the cause of peace.
