Founded by Joseph Waller in St. Petersburg, Florida, in May 1968, the Junta of Militant Organizations (JOMO) was founded “with the idea of creating a central body to direct the revolutionary activities of this nation” according to this pamphlet, which outlined the goals and philosophy of Waller and the organization. Among these were a series of demands made in the name of the Black community, including control of schools, housing, businesses, as well as a police review board and redistricting of voting districts along racial lines.
