On the 15th February 1965, after an extensive tour of the African continent, Omowale Malcolm X was scheduled to deliver The Program of his new formation, the Organisation of Afro-American Unity (OAAU). This presentation was postponed due to a fire bombing of his family home.

The rescheduled date was 21st February - which would become the fateful day that our "living Black Manhood" paid the ultimate price for African Liberation.

The mark of a great leader is that they leave a well defined program for those who come after them. The program of the OAAU is the result of much study of the African World, beginning with the conditions of Africans in America. It was penned by the illustrious Baba John Henrik Clarke, in consultation with Omowale Malcolm X, his big sister Ella Collins and others in the OAAU Leadership.

Due to mass revisionism of the life & legacy of Omowale Malcolm X, this document, along with his OAAU founding rally speeches are woefully under appreciated. Together, they reveal his very clear Black Nationalist Pan-Afrikanist Orientation and pragmatic approach to solving the problems of African people the world over.

We share this now, in the hope to shine a light on the legacy of Papa Omowale and the powerful spirit of the organisation he was in the process of building. Listen to the clarity of perspective; the practicality of the program; and its enduring relevance to us in todays world.

So, I have had a couple of conversations with Uncle Danjuma and my Muslim Brothers at Speakers Corner recently, in which I was defending Africentric perspectives on Spirituality and the role of Islam in Afrika. During the conversation a number of Scholarly sources came up and when corrected - I said I would go back do further research, examine the sources and consider there arguments... I Have been doing so.... and I figured it would be good do a live and share some of the information.

As the title suggest, this will not be a presentation per se - more an exploration of the information provided by scholars in the fields that were discussed. Do feel free to join man if interested... links to the previous conversation on Content Over Everything are below.
