The indigenous people of Africa are groups of people native to a specific region; people who lived there before colonists or settlers arrived, defined new borders, and began to occupy the land. This definition applies to all indigenous groups, whether inside or outside of Africa. Although the vast majority of Native Africans can be considered to be "indigenous" in the sense that they originated from that continent and nowhere else (like all Homo sapiens), identity as an "indigenous people" is in the modern application more restrictive. Not every African ethnic group claims identification under these terms. Groups and communities who do claim this recognition are those who by a variety of historical and environmental circumstances have been placed outside of the dominant state systems. Their traditional practices and land claims have often come into conflict with the objectives and policies promulgated by governments, companies, and surrounding dominant societies.

Marginalization, along with the desire to recognize and protect their collective and human rights, and to maintain the continuity of their individual cultures, has led many to seek identification as indigenous peoples, in the contemporary global sense of the term. For example, in West Africa, the Dogon people of Mali and Burkina Faso,[1][2] the Jola people of Guinea-Bissau, The Gambia, and Senegal,[3] and the Serer people of Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and Mauritania, and formally North Africa,[4][5] have faced religious and ethnic persecution for centuries, and disenfranchisement or prejudice in modern times (see Persecution of Serers and Persecution of Dogons). These people, who are indigenous to their present habitat, are classified as indigenous peoples.[1][2][3][4]

The African American Defense League (AADL) is a black nationalist group founded by Mauricelm-Lei Millere,[1] whom the Anti-Defamation League asserts is an adviser to the New Black Panther Party.[2]

Millere is an psychiatric clinician, African American political and religious figure, and independent scientist.  According to the Anti-Defamation League he is advisor to the New Black Panther Party and other black nationalist organizations.

African American Defense League became a popular group as the use of deadly force by police increased to high profile, advocating fair use of the 2nd amendment for African Americans and self-defense. The group is accused of preaching hate, racism, and violence, although best known calling for the death of Darren Wilson, the officer who shot and killed Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri 2014. The group's Leader was introduced to the Nation of Islam by Khalid Abdul Muhammad. The Group is lauded by many in the black community for their ridicule of White American privilege and or white racism. The African American Defense League is instrumental in the African American political and religious movement of America (See also Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan and Black Coffee Party USA).

"The African American Defense League Is An Organization In Two Parts: 1.) We Are An Organization of Africans, or Blacks, Committed To Self-defense. This Is Why We Are Called The African American Defense League. This Is Self-Explanitory to the Blackman, Black Self-defense! 2.) We Are An Organization For Afro-American Unity (OAAU), A Pan-Africanist Organization Founded by Our Beloved Brother Minister Malcolm X in 1964. The A2DL - 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. I want to say to you, nothing has changed! Our aim is to run this well oiled, fine tuned machine!

Restoration: "In order to release ourselves from the oppression of our enslavers then, it is absolutely necessary for the Afro-American to restore communication with Africa."

Reorientation: "We can learn much about Africa by reading informative books and by listening to the experiences of those who have traveled there."

Education: "The Organization of Afro-American Unity will devise original educational methods and procedures which will liberate the minds of our children. We will ... encourage qualified Afro-Americans to write and publish the textbooks needed to liberate our minds ... educating them [our children] at home."

Economic Security: "After the Emancipation Proclamation ... it was realized that the Afro-American constituted the largest homogeneous ethnic group with a common origin and common group experience in the United States and, if allowed to exercise economic or political freedom, would in a short period of time own this country. We must establish a technician bank. We must do this so that the newly independent nations of Africa can turn to us who are their brothers for the technicians they will need now and in the future."

Self Defense: "In order to enslave a people and keep them subjugated, their right to self defense must be denied. We encourage the Afro-Americans to defend themselves against the wanton attacks of the racist aggressors whose sole aim is to deny us the guarantee of the United Nations Charter of Human Rights and of the Constitution of the United States."

The OAAU pushed for black control of every aspect of the black community. At the founding rally, Malcolm X stated that the organization's principal concern was the human rights of blacks, but that it would also focus on voter registration, school boycotts, rent strikes, housing rehabilitation, and social programs for addicts, unwed mothers, and troubled children. Malcolm X saw the OAAU as a way of "un-brainwashing" black people, ridding them of the lies they had been told about themselves and their culture.

On July 17, 1964, Malcolm X was welcomed to the second meeting of the Organisation of African Unity in Cairo as a representative of the OAAU.

When a reporter asked whether white people could join the OAAU, Malcolm X said, "Definitely not." Then he added, "If John Brown were still alive, we might accept him. "We echo the same sentiments as Brother Minister Malcolm X, this organization is for the Blackman!" Dr Khalid Abdul Muhammad

"The only people, and or coffee, we are serving in this restaurant is black! We absolutely refuse to serve any whites, ores, or what have you! In case you didn't get it the first time, I'll put it this way, black coffee, no sugar, and no creme!" Minister Mauricelm X

Ella Little-Collins (1914 – 1996, aged 82) was an American civil rights activist and the half-sister of Malcolm X.[1] She was born in Butler, Georgia, to Earl Little and Daisy Little (née Mason); her paternal grandparents were John (Big Pa) Lee Little and Ella Little (née Gray), and her siblings were Mary Little and Earl Lee Little Jr. She had seven half-siblings from her father's second marriage: Wilfred, Philbert, Hilda, Reginald, Malcolm, Wesley, and Yvonne.[2] She worked as congressman Adam Clayton Powell's secretary, the manager of her mother's grocery store, and an investor in house property, which she let out as rooming houses.[1] She joined the Nation of Islam in the mid-1950s and helped establish its mosque in Boston and a day-care center attached to it, although she left the Nation in 1959 to become a Sunni Muslim.[1][2] She supported black and ethnic studies programs in universities across the United States and founded the Sarah A. Little School of Preparatory Arts in Boston.[2]

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 announced the establishment of the OAAU at a public meeting in New York's Audubon Ballroom on June 28, 1964. He had written the group's charter with John Henrik Clarke, Albert Cleage, Jesse Gray, and Gloria Richardson, among others.[1] In a memo dated July 2, 1964, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover described the nascent OAAU as a threat to the national security of the United States.[2]
