“We cannot let this hugely important dimension of Malcolm’s legacy to continue to be diminished.
“The charge he gave us before he left us was a revolutionary Pan Africanist charge!
“So in the fight against Police Brutality, in the fight against Ethnic Cleansing, in the fight for Reparations, from wherever we are in the world, the path to advancing our struggle at this incredible crossroads moment is that same PanAfrican path again if we are standing on his shoulders, and on the shoulders of ancestors like him.
“Sunday, we are coming fully armed with a coterie of serious PanAfricanists to make that plain,” exclaimed poet activist Zayid Muhammad, who will moderate the event on behalf the Malcolm X Commemoration Committee.
On June 28th, 1964, Malcolm X launched the Organization of AfroAmerican Unity at the Audubon Ballroom in New York City. Their political education rallies are now the stuff of legend. He was tragically assassinated there just as he was about to present its Aims And Objectives on February 21, 1965.
