The #UniversalZuluNation foundation at first was organize from uniting street organizations in the Bronx, New York who went by the names of the Black Spades, Savage Nomads, Seven Immortals, Savage Skulls. A large base member ship came from out these specific groups, especially The Black Spades, It was through the ideal of Organizing many youth who were involve in many of these specific groups to be part of something new that was about to come on the scene in a different way. This group was coming from an area in the Bronx New York called Bronx River Houses. This new group took on the name The Bronx River Organization and because of opposition from many other areas of the Bronx who did not want to be under that title cause of specific reasons, It was agree to shorten the name to The Organization which had a more neutral feel that many other areas in the Bronx was comfortable with. A key player in organizing all of this was a young man by the name of Bambaataa who later was known to be known as Afrika Bambaataa. He had much help from many of his sister and brothers from the Bronx River Area as well as many in the hundreds of his other friends from all the other areas in the Bronx who help in making this group get known as The Organization. This group was started as the gang era was starting to decline in the year of 1972-75 but also at the same time Brother Bambaataa had another Ideal to start another group at the same time from seeing a movie in the 1960s call ZULU which had a powerful effect on a young Brother Bambaataa.
