On June 28, 1964, Malcolm X founded the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) in New York City. Modeled after the Organization of African Unity, the OAAU aimed to unite all people of African descent and advocate for human rights, self-determination, and economic independence. The organization sought to internationalize the struggle for Black liberation and played a pivotal role in linking the civil rights movement in the U.S. with global anti-colonial efforts.
