1963: OAU Founded

Representatives of 30 of the 32 independent nations of Africa met in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to create the Organization of African Unity (OAU).

An outgrowth of the Pan-Africanist movement started by W. E. B. Du Bois and other African-American intellectuals, the OAU aimed to promote unity among African nations. Headquarters were established in Addis Ababa.
