#OTD Wednesday 21 February 1968 The Organization of African and Afro-American Students at American University (OASATAU) honored Malcolm X in a memorial service on the third anniversary of his assassination. The service was held at the Kay Spiritual Life Center chapel (4400 Massachusetts Ave, NW) at AU.

Twenty-five students, including Dyann Waugh and Walker Foster III, chairperson, were in attendance wearing black armbands on their left arms. They listened to eulogies and to Cecilia Vilakazi read Leopold S. Senghor's poem, "The Dead." 

The OASATAU was founded in 1967.
