Malcolm X Commemoration Day 1966

Because FBI file requests through the FOIA sometimes take several years, I only just now received a request I put in for the United African Nationalist Movement back in September 2015. It contains a few new interesting bits of data related to African American Muslims, but unfortunately I won't be able to include that in my forthcoming HCTIUS v2, which is already completed and will be out in October. In any case, I will be making the UANM file available in the future, and I thought I'd post one interesting document found in the file: a flyer for a Malcolm X commemoration and march held in February 1966, about one year after his death. Note the numerous organizations that participated in this, which notably included the MSTA.
