MONTREAL, Canada — Black students here have extended the borders of militant student struggle well into the Northern Hemisphere in much the same manner as their A f r o - A m e r i c a n brothers. On Jan. 30, when over two hundred Black students commandeered the million-dollar computer center at Sir George Williams university here, the stuffed shirts of their Canadian school administrators were ruffled and the eyes of many w h i t e s were pricked open with amazement. In a special communique to M U H A M M A D SPEAKS, a spokesman for the embittered Black students said "Canada has always been proud to admit that no racism exists, but Black people here know that it is racist." Black s t u d e n t s began their struggle in April, 1968 when they charged that a professor in the school's biology department disolayed a particularly racist atti:ude toward Black students. The students charged Professor Per•y Anderson with racism and denanded that school administraors r e m o v e him from the chool. After five months of iniction on their demands that the nstructor be removed, Black students, here launched a pro-

WASHINGTON, D. C. — Firstfirm Black Congress woman, Rep. Shirley Chisholm, (D-N.Y.) shook-up this tradition-obsessed Congress last week, by spurning an 'irrelevant' committee assignment. She won her forthright, nearly unprecedented action for freedom from the limitations of the "Agriculture Committee", in a rare congressional victory.

Reportedly, Mrs. Chisholm had hoped for an assignment on the Education and Labor Committee. Explaining her preference, she said: "My e x p e r i e n c e , my background is all in education. I've taught and directed a private school, run a child care center, and served on the education c o m m i t t e e of the New York State Legislature." TAKING HER BATTLE to the Assignments are made by a 15 closed caucus of House demo- member body called the Commitcrats, Rep. Chisholm explained tee on Committees. that her membership on the Agr i c u l t u r e Committee and the RESTURAHT needs of her Black Brooklyn constituency, were far afield. She ieclared to her colleagues: " I didn't come here expecting ;o get everything I wanted . . . But there are only nine Black p e r s o n s here and they should be used more effectively." Her next step took p l a c e at the caucus, dur| ing the enterI taining of a moU i o n approving Rep.

Messenger of Allah

T H E BLACK man from the root beginning is from a Black Father. Therefore, he should go in the Name of his BLACK FATHER. As I have said, as long as the socalled American Negro is blind to the knowledge of self, he does not know by what name he should be called. You could call him anything and he would answer to it, for he does not know his True Name. The white man calls the so-called American Negro by many nick-names. The so-called American Negro, then renick names for himself, the nick-names of the white man, although he does not even know what they mean. The black man (so-called American Negro) is a member of the family and a direct descendant of the Creator Who made the Heavens and the Earth. Therefore the son should be called by the Name of his Father and not called by the name of an alien. The white race is an alien people to the Black Man. So many times you have heard that God has ninety-nine (99) Names or Attributes (That Which Is Attributed to God). The 100th Name or Attribute of God is the Name, Allah, Which Represents that He is A L L IN A L L , of every Good name. His Name Begins with the Name CREATOR and Ends with T H E FIRST AND T H E LAST, T H E ETERNAL. Many of His Attributes refer to such Names as POWER, FORCE, T H E , MIGHTY, T H E WISE, T H E MOST

Why not a united Black Nation? Have the white people not been a united white people all their days? Have they not lived in their own quarters and countries under their own white rulers, kings, queens, and presidents? What is all the excitement over the Black Man wanting to live to himself? We have lived under segregation forced upon us up until today. Now, why think living apart, out of the white man's society, is something that we should not think about doing?

They all, having broken off from the Catholic Church agreed that the 'Mother Church,' (Catholic) was wrong and each dividing Christian church claimed to be right, until another little group broke away from them. They divided so many times, until division became divided. The whole of Christianity is the wrong religion.

MERCIFUL, T H E M A K E R , T H E FASHIONER, T H E BEST KNOWER, T H E ALL-HEARING ONE, T H E A L L SEEING ONE. T H E HOLY QUR-AN says that He has the Best Names and the Most Beautiful Names. So many of these Names that we should have, are pertaining to Our Father. His Names of Praise and One worthy of Praise, are just a few of the Great Names Which Belong to God, and He Wants to Give Them to us. The Bible teaches us, that He Will Give His Names to those who believe in Him. According to the Bible, Rev. 7:3, the Judgment cannot take place until those Who Believe in Him are G i v e n His Name, (sealed in their forehead). Will you turn down a Great Name which will Live Forever, Bible Is. 56:5, in exchange for the nick-names of your very enemies? They have no meaning as to a human being, such as Mr. Fish. We are human beings and should not be called Mr. Fish. They name you Mr. Hog. You are not a Hog. They call you Mr. Bird. We should not be called bird. We are not w i n g e d fowl. They are names which are worthless to human beings. The only white people who are allowed to use One of the Names of Allah (God) is one who has accepted Islam. These Names are given to them because of their faith in the religion of Allah (God). However, this does not mean that by nature, these Names belong to them.

both and we are better off living apart than trying to mix together (which is against the nature of Black and white). We are two different people. Black ants do not try living with red ants, white ants, or any color but their own color. Even black birds will not try mixing with yellow, red, and white birds. Everything abides by the law of nature in which it was created but the white man and his Black slave. White people want to mix with every color of people on the earth. And, they have nearly mixed up the entire population of the earth in various colors. They did not want to destroy their color. They do not even want to destroy it today but they want to force their color into other people. Now, many of the Black slaves desire to live with their Black selves, after living under a forced mixture of our slavemaster's children. Now, today, the very nature of us is being taught by God, Who Knows all of us. This teaching of self from God makes us desire, as never before, to be ourselves.

E n f o r c i n g obeisance to this system was the criminal regime of Fulgencio Batista, a regime hated by most Cubans who were not part of the corruption—a regime which was characterized by brutal police murders, political incarcerations and treachery. S i m i l a r regimes are seen throughout Latin America. Some are military-led dictatorships and others operate through a strongman. Always, the men in charge are merely well-paid instruments who sign over the life-blood and welfare of their peoples to the greedy m e r c h a n t s from the North. PUERTO RICO is an example of an island nation in which this system still prevails. The gambling casinos are found in every major hotel and elsewhere; marijuana and other narcotics are sold freely on the streets, prosititutes are easier to find than the nearest bus-stop. U.S. industry is springing up -everywhere cheap labor can be found. Since the U.S. merchants and crime syndicate criminals run the country, they also control wages—although indirectly. They see to it that there is cheap labor everywhere. Imported racism helps to insure this. By creating classes based on color, the merchants are able to use one hue against the other while the more important issues are soon forgotten. The same system was used in Cuba, before the r e v o l u t i o n . Now, official racism is gone. It is against the law to discriminate in Cuba. And the law is enforced in every sector of life. Personal attitudes remain among some people, but personal feelings of superiority are no problem when the government sticks by its equality guarantee.

WHO WAS M. M. BOBO?

F r e e d o m

Manzunzo Million Bobo, author of this document, was horn on March 24, 1943, in Angonia county in the southeastern African nation of Mozambique. At the age of 19, M. M. Bobo joined the struggle to free his people from the racist and economic oppression of the Catholic dictatorship of Portugal.

I n v a d e r s

A f r i c a n F i g h t e r

Bobo served as Chief Representative of UDENAMO (this abbreviation for Mozambique National Democratic Union means "the suffering caused by love of goodness and justice" in some African languages) in Ghana, where he met then president Kwame Nkrumah. Shortly thereafter, Bobo co-founded the Mozambique Revolutionary Committee (COREMO), served on the Central Committee and held posts such as Secretary of Education, Secretary of Foreign Affairs and Secretary of Pan-African Affairs. These duties made him a world traveller, as he championed the Mozambique cause throughout Africa and Asia. But like the Cuban hero, Che Guevara, who also combined intellectual power with boldness and bravery in action, M. M. Bobo gave his life to his people. He and 56 other Africans under his command were killed during a successful attack on a Portuguese battalion on February 29, 1968, shortly before his 25th birthday. Portugal, the brutal nation that is now seeking a Black fascist ally in "Biafra," lost 252 men in that battle. This is the last document written by M. M. Bobo. To Mozamblquan students and all other patriots and anti-Imperialists in Africa and elsewhere in the World: The people of the World must learn that the Portuguese are trying to solve their colonial problems in a way contrary to the people's beliefs and interests. The people should ask themselves, "What kind of Creatures

are these Portuguese? Do they actually live in today's world or in a world in opposition to the one in which we live?" THE ANSWER to these questions are clear to everybody who knows how the Portuguese nation was created. This information explains why the P o r t u g u e s e people are so confused and how they lost their true sight and replaced it with the vision of imperialism, that is, a vision to enslave other peoples and profit from their labor. A thousand years ago Portugal was the smallest and poorest nation in Europe. Most of the criminal Europeans who had to leave their homes fled to Portugal as refugees. Once there, they took over control from the native inhabitants; they were a group o f power-hungry, imperialistic adventurists. Let us look deep into the creation of the Portuguese people. The original inhabitants of today's Portugal were the "IBER(Continued on page 13)

Race

(Black Press International) WASHINGTON—The w o r l d ' s arms race now costs 40 per cent more than total spending on educ a t i o n and more than three times the spending on public health, figures from the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency recently reported. THE COST of the arms race was 182 billion dollars in 1967— or $53 for every man, woman and child on earth. And although the computations are not complete, preliminary figures indicate that the cost was even greater in 1968. "In money terms," William Foster, former director of the agency, said military spending is "equivalent to the total annual income produced by the one billion people living in Latin America, South Asia and the Near East." The Disarmament Agency said that the increase in arms spending "is considerably larger than the increase in population, a 38 per cent rise in military .expenditures compared with a 7 per cent increase in population." All investigations of the arms race show that it is the U.S. Defense Dept., and the satellite U.S., European and Japanese industries which profit through it, that sets the pace in the arms race. Of course, regardless of the country i n v o l v e d , all money spent on weapons is money which could have been spent on the necessities of life. Another way of putting it is: all energies spent in the production of arms could be spent in producing food, medicines and shelter; all research spent in creating new ways to maim, poison and kill people could be spent to find new ways to feed, house, cure and clothe people. The main source of the arms race is the United States and Europe. These nations are the ones who f r a n t i c a l l y oppose changes in the power structure of the poor and exploited nations. And of course the big industries which sell the arms are raking in monstrous profits in a variety of ways: First, U.S. Defense Dept. weapons contracts give private industry billions of dollars; and now that weapons industry busiELLIS' BOOKSTORE SPECIALIZING IN AFRO-AMERICAN LITERATURE 6447 S.

Third, out-dated and/or defective weapons are frequently sold to revolutionary or d i s s i d e n t groups in the poorer nations. There is little waste in the arms industry. It is the man-in-the-street and the man-in-the-field who suffer most from the arms race. And as long as the rich can direct spending of public funds into their own banking accounts, the race will continue. This is another reason why population control programs are becoming more important to the U.S. government and big business: If the working people knew that there is no population prob-

Thankful

U . S .

IN KEEPING with the editorial requirements of MUHAMMAD SPEAKS, I will strive to be brief, but this is truly painful when I have so much to say. Several months ago, I was released from the white man's army. One stark realization presented itself to me during these two years: I was being used by the white man to further the white man's aims in the world. I

12-Year-old California Girl W a n t s Pen Pal DEAR SIR: I am writing with the hope that I'll receive a pen pal. I've lived in California for four years, although I was born in Chicago. That's why I would like some pen pals who live in or around Chicago. I would like a pen pal near my age. My name is Adrienne Averetta, a girl, and I'm 12 years old.

was the same as a mercenary, hired out, to do the white man's evil for the white man. I was in Korea for 13 months. The Koreans are free, they have their nation. When the Vietnamese are free, no matter who is in control—the North or the South —they will have t h e i r s . The Black soldiers who fought, bled and died there will have nothing. Nothing! They will have to come back to face the white man, in the white man's country, the white man's law, the white man's way of life. This is a white man's country and we are chattels within. We are not too much better off than the South Africans, Namibians or Zimbabweans.

and all of those white devils who have upwards to 15 million of our people in shameful chains. It is truly pathetic when Black people will fight and die for white people and be afraid to fight against white people for the freedom of Black people. Say what you please about it, we are an the same—Black. The next time I serve in an army, it will be against the white man, not with him. G. WEST BROOKLYN, N.Y.

THERE IS another stark reality. No matter what form of justice and equality and fair treatment we receive in America, we will always be under the white man's roof. This is a white man's country. Let's face it. And we will castrate and destroy ourselves by begging from and integrating with the white devils. Integration and assimilation means destruction. The white South Africans know it. This is something that Black Americans seem not to know. It is the truth. What blind fools we are if we cannot see it. It is clear. It would be as clear as giving the white man to blow us all up in the ghettos. This is what white people all over the world are looking for—the excuse to do to all of us. Waiting for the white man to treat us right is futile, and on top of that, not worth it.

DEAR SIR: Nothing in this world ever pleased me more than when last week I bought the latest edition of M U H A M M A D SPEAKS, turned the pages and found my letter printed within. I was glad that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and his editors thought enough of my words to print them when two major nigger magazines would not even consider them, out of fear they might offend white people. These are pathetic niggers who have not the courage or the spine to realize that we owe the white man nothing! This gives me an opportunity to expound further on the real role which Black soldiers should be playing in this world.

T h r o u g h History''

"The greedy few have caused all human devastation of the past—done in the guise of individual achievement and free enterprise. "But the progressive and independent 'Third World' knows there must be a new system based on mutual sharing, cooperation and collectivity. We will go beyond Marx to say that this development will be based on the unity of our blood, instead of the class s t r u g g l e alone. The blood I mean is the blood spilt by all oppressed people. "Our blood flotos through wide stretches of history of the oppressed, colored peoples of the world. The new world will be a new world of humanism between the great peoples of Asia, Latin America', the Indies, the Pacific Islands, the Carribbean and, of course, Africa.

"United as a great and irresistible force for human change, we will overcome the European descendants if they continue to block us with military arms. And of c o u r s e the African-American, with his long and first-hand knowledge of the Euro-American, must use his education and all of the technical and military skills he has to help build this new world. We are among the best suited peoples to help provide independence for the colonized world and then to help build the new world with our brothers." By John Woodford EVANSTON, 111—AfricanAmericans all over the United States are increasing their demands that this nation's educational system provide them with courses which will give them knowledge about themselves. Because of the racist mid-education of both European and African A m e r i c a n s , courses in American history and World history must be completely restructured in order to describe the true motivation and behavior of Euro-American exploiters, and the true accomplishments of the African peoples in Africa, North and South A m e r i c a , Central America, the Polynesian Islands, Southern Europe and Asia. DESPITE the constant advice of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and other Black men who have described the power and wisdom derived from a true knowledge of our individual and social selves, many Afro-Americans do not see what they can gain from this knowledge. To help correct this situation, M U H A M M A D SPEAKS asked James Turner, a graduate student VISIT M U H A M M A D ' S MOSQUE OF I S L A M 1246 SOUTH MARKET CANTON, OHIO SUNDAY, 2 P.M.

Turner outlined his opinions in Africa House, whose walls and floors feature beautiful African p a i n t i n g s , textiles, sculpture, masks and weapons from communities throughout the Great Continent. Africa House contains the offices of the inter-disciplinary African Studies Program, of which Turner is a member. Turner began by concentrating on the relevance of Afro-American history to the Afro-American. Since the end of the Civil War, he said, "we have had the idea that we had to rely on white people. First, we were propagandized into believing that Lincoln was our savior. So we voted Republican until Roosevelt became the messiah. Then there was a tremendous shift to the Democrats."

THIS "PERVERTED emotional response" can be corrected, Turner said, by a "Black ideology" which does not depend upon nonexistent "white morality" and Black nonviolence.-" "The issue isn't open housing or integration," Turner went on. "The question is will Blacks have sufficient land for their numbers and sufficient conditions to maintain themselves on this land. Open housing favors the rich. Neither the working class Black man nor the middle class Black can get mortgage loans. Black studies are trying to get Blacks to raise these questions to people who control these programs. "Look at the density of people jammed into the high rises. People say the land question is an absurd issue and laugh when Blacks demand land. But if the ratio of people to land in Harlem was the same for people throughout New York, you could put the whole population of the United States in New York! "In Chicago land-use patterns are already controlled through the 1970's. But Black people haven't had a say in it. The result is that two white families in one of those suburban housing subdivisions occupy the same land space as a Robert Taylor homes high-rise a p a r t m e n t housing (Continued on page 12)

ANKARA, Turkey — Government officials here are ringing down hardline policies and court decisions on the lax .smuggling of narcotics. Last week, a 21-year old German hashish smuggler was sentenced to an extraordinary 30 year term in prison. The young man, Hang Dieter Van, received the kind of sentence which is becoming typical of the strict penalties placed upon convicted narcotics "pushers." (Hashish is made from the same plant as m a r i j u a n a ; it is illegal, but available in Istanbul). "Haws bashes" are present in cheap hotels. Doctors say that youngsters get poisoned by an overdose of hashish, and completely lose themselves in the weed's nightmarish world. Officials apparently take the position that persons wearing odd attire are most highly suspicious; particularly stressed is the "invasion" into the country of people in weird dress, an official remarked.

charges since August. The time she has spent in prison will count as part of her "time," if she is sentenced. Because of the current hardline policy, even the most gentle of jurists is forced by "governmental mood" and the temper of the times to mete out a tough sentence. Visiting westerners who could really care less about the populace decline here has been heard to call the strict sentencing too harsh—particularly on first offenders. One of the Western visitors had the good sense to say: "But that's Turkey's business . . . The Truks didn't i n v i t e these characters here."

NARCOTICS LAWS call for 3-5 years in prison for possession; 10 years for trafficking; 15-30 years for smuggling. Also narcotics suspects must stay in jail while awaiting arraignment and trial. This can be a long wait. One young woman, a 27-year old American living in a provincial town in West Turkey has been waiting trial on narcotics

Partial

D e n t u r e s

By Dr. Leo PX McCailum We have been discussing the relative merits, advantages and disadvantages of the removable clasp type partial denture for the replacement of missing teeth. Such dentures are the most common type of replacement used today primarily due to the fact that they can and do render a useful service and fall within an economic range that most people can afford.

The Black A m e r i c a n has "more knowledge of what the Euro-American is like than other colonized people in the world," Turner said. "We know their interest is self-interest.

Although white exploiters and their puppets bray that AfroAmerican foes of racist oppression are men and women who can only tear down a society without building one up, Turner, like all Black freedom fighters, has d e f i n i t e ideas about the structure of a free Black community. After the transfer of power and land to the Black community (and Turner is confident

that Blacks, through whatever means necessary, will win this freedom as soon as they reject oppression in sufficient numbers) the Blacks will face the challenge of developing a society with freedom, justice and equality for all its members. This development, said Turner, will be greatly helped by drawing upon the resources of our African heritage. For this will enable the Afro-American to reject economic competition as the basis of political and social relationships and replace competition with cooperation and communal living patterns.

Mrs. Patricia Robert Harris: B l a c k

W o m a n

By Lonnie Kashif WASHINGTON — Mrs. Patricia Robert Harris, former U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg has become the second woman in the nation's history to be appointed dean of a college law school. MRS. HARRIS, a Black woman, assumed the position of dean of Howard University Law school on February 1, succeeding Clarence C. Ferguson, Jr., who recently resigned to accept a professorship at Rutgers University. Formerly an Associate Professor at the law school, Mrs. Harris is no stranger to administrative ranks. Except for a twoyear leave of absence period from 1965 to 1967 when she accepted a Johnson appointment and distinguished herself as a woman a m b a s s a d o r , she has served actively on the University staff since 1961. Having already a c h i e v e d "Who's Who" status, the new dean will bring an international flavor to the office. In a 1966 address given on the 99th Anniversary of the founding of Howard University, Mrs. Harris, then ambassador, spoke of the "world view," as being characteristic of the concern of Howard Univer-

A n s w e r s Z i o n Outrageous U.S. press articles have described the Palestinian people who fight to win back their homelands as "hate-mongers" and "fanatics." Ali Baghdadi, ex-president of the Organization of Arab students, answered these charges with the following statement: As a Palestinian, I agree with the American news media that we Arabs teach our children to "hate." Hate is also love. WE HATE Israel because we do love Palestine. I teach my children to hate Israel because I w a n t them to hate injustice, racism, colonialism and occupation.

"What Allah, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, Has Revealed to Me." By E L I J A H MUHAMMAD Messenger of Allah We must be careful of what we put in our stomachs because what we put in our stomachs will maintain life and it will take life away. THE WORLD that we are now living in, as I have repeatedly written in this article, is a commercial world, which commercializes on everything on which they can make an extra dollar. The food that we eat is robbed of its natural vitamins and proteins. Do you want some vitamins and proteins? Go to the drugstores. There, you will find them on the shelves in the drugstores in pills and in liquid form. Now, you may eat a lot of what you used to think was good "vitamin and protein" food but those vitamins and proteins are not there in the food anymore. When the vitamins and proteins have been taken from natural food (where nature put them and where they should be eaten) you then do not have the original pure vitamins and proteins. When the vitamins and proteins are chemically taken out of natural foods, it makes the food less valuable. The chemicals used to take out vitamins and proteins from their natural place in food and the chemicals used to keep and preserve the vitamins and proteins make it not too safe for us to eat vitamins and proteins in pills and liquid form. It is a pity that the good food is robbed for the sake of a commercial dollar.

Truth

(Continued from page 3) Planet Earth including Viet Nam? Do you know that our newspaper, MUHAMMAD SPEAKS NEWSPAPER, is avidly and constantly being read by representatives of almost all of the Nation* of the UNITED NATIONS? DO YOU KNOW, that our Brothers and Sisters are heeding THE CALL OF ALLAH (God) through His Messenger and are joyfully running to Islam, from all walks of life? WE KNOW that many of our Brothers and Sisters of_the Lost-Found Nation here in America, read the article speaking of the great strides which we, your Muslim Brothers and Sisters are making due to the Divine Leadership of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah. The article appeared on the front page of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE, Sunday, January 26, 1969. THE DEVIL HIMSELF, is giving great credit and is marvelling at the Leadership of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah. You can see, as even the devil agrees, that a marvelous thing, the raising of a people, is being accomplished by Allah (God) and His Messenger. HE C A L L S TO THOSE WHO ARE STTLL ASLEEP, to Come Out of Hell (America) and reclaim our Own True Religion, Islam, which Allah (God) Himself Has Chosen for us. We are no longer left alone to wonder and to wander. THE HONORABLE ELIJAH MUHAMMAD, Messenger of Allah, warns us to wake up and fly to Allah for America is in Divine Judgment. The Bible states, Rom. 13:11, "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." ALLAH HAS CHOSEN FOR US OUR TRUE RELIGION, ISLAM, AND HE HAS CHOSEN FOR US, HIS MESSENGER, OUR DIVINE LEADER AND . TEACHER THE HONORABLE ELIJAH MUHAMMAD. HE HAS CHOSEN US, THE LOST-FOUND MEMBERS OF THE AB-ORIGINAL NATION OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, AS HIS PEOPLE." KNOW FOR A CERTAINTY THAT ALLAH (God) IS THE BEST-KNOWER! SUPPORT MUHAMMAD'S

(Continued from'page 8) have handled the complex forces supporting him, once total victory occured, may have been a moot question; but there is no doubt that the Black revolutionary earned a proud place in history as one who knew how to deal with the Portuguese slavemasters. Since there are 8,000,000 Mozambiquans and only 100,000 Portuguese (and another 100,000 Portuguese soldiers) in Mozambique, it takes little imagination to see how easy it would be to free Mozambique if the Ford Foundation and powerful U.S. politicians really supported the fight. On the other hand, Mondlane accepted arms and training from the Peoples Republic of China, as well as from countries in the Soviet socialist bloc. And most important, he saw the need for armed struggle against the Portuguese and other racists. He was successful in using force to take land away from Portuguese control. But the wide split in his backing and his associations with counter-revolutionaries give rise to doubts as to who killed him.

What this means is that he may have been killed by agents of white r a c i s t exploitation— whether from Portugal, South Africa, Rhodesia, the USA, Israel, France or West Germany— who decided that South Africa cannot be safe without the buffer a r e a s of Portuguese-controlled Mozambique and Angola; or he may have been killed by revolutionaries (who could look at a number of African nations where neo-colonialist "liberators" are now c o r r u p t stooges for the Euro-American bloc) who wanted to save Mozambiquans the pain of going through a two-stage revolution.

P o r t u g u e s e —in which case M o n d l a n e ' s death is not a crushing loss— or whether Mondlane was a shrewd man who advanced the pace of Black Freedom—in which case he takes an honored place beside M. M. Bobo as a hero of the future Peoples Republic of Africa.

By Tynnetta Deanar The Messenger of Allah recently completed an awe-inspiring series on the relevance of the Moon's History to that of the Earth, its peoples and civilizations into the present and the future life of our Universe. I wish to compare the direct, all wise and all knowing approach of Messenger Muhammad's text of the previous weeks to the modern scientist's attempt at speculative knowledge of the same events which have shaped our modern world.

WE THE MUSLIMS?

BLACK By Elijah M u h a m m a d Messenger of Allah

SURE, W E ARE BLACK MUSLIMS! As white people call themselves white Christians, we are Black Muslims! OF COURSE I T STARTED at first from the press. But we do not get indignant about being called Black for that is what we are.

T H E WHITE PEOPLE WHO ENSLAVED our fathers had an unrestrained hand and power over the Black slave. They could beat and force the slave to believe, answer to and obey anything they taught the Black slave without hindrance for we had no teachers among our slave-parents. The poor slave had no help here or there for centuries. I should say until today, on The Coming of Our God and Saviour, In the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, To Whom Praises are Due forever.

WE W E R E BLACK IN T H E V E R Y BEGINNING of the Creation of the Father, who was Black. Black is what we prefer to be called. There is no white scholar or scientist of history and religion that will dare say otherwise. WHY SHOULD Y O U F E E L OFFENDED when you are called a Black Muslim? The white people are not offended if you call them white Christians.

By Elijah M u h a m m a d Messenger of Allah

I AND MY FOLLOWERS, are ever being accused of teaching hate. I am sorry that you have gotten so many contrary answers from some of my followers, who are not qualified in knowledge, to answer such questions of whether or not we are teaching hate. BY NO MEANS SHOULD T H E TEACHINGS B E CONSIDERED the teachings of hate. It does not deny that truth is not accepted by a race of people who are made contrary to the nature and practice of truth. I am not surprised that they call me a hate teacher, due to the fact that they were not made of truth. They were made just the opposite, See Bible, John 8:44. IF T R U T H O F T H E WORLD IS CLASSIFIED as hate teaching, then I am a friend of God, for in the very beginning, according to the Bible, God hated one brother and loved the other (Gen., God loved Jacob and hated Esau). The cause of God's hatred was due to one brother's works of evil and envy of his brother, whom God Loved. ACCORDING TO T H E DESCRIPTION given by Esau and Jacob, one was hairy and the other of smooth skin. This has a great significance of truth. T H E W H I T E MAN became a hairy

BUT I SAY, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, be happy that you are Black. It is the first color, original of man, in the sun. It is honorable, durable and lasting. It is not easy to be changed even under climatic conditions.

IT IS DUE TO THE FACT that the so-called American Negro has been mocked by the white slave-master, after the white slave-master, attracted them with the power of unalike. He attracted the slave so much so, that he desired to be white instead of his own nature color, Black, in which he was created. White is a made color and not a created color.

A L L A H (GOD) is the Father of the Creation of the Heavens and the Earth. His Color is Black. It is the best and purest of all the colors. It is Unchangable as His Wisdom, which is Superior over All. IT IS T R U E W E A R E BLACK MUSLIMS. Our very Nation is Black People. Our Creator was a Black God. SO DO NOT BE ASHAMED TO ACCEPT YOUR OWN BLACK S E L F . It is an honorable color. IT IS T H E FIRST AND THE LAST.

man until the birth of Moses because of the beast life he lived due to being deprived of the knowledge of self. They actually lived the life of beasts and acquired much of their characteristics. This is why the Revelator of the Bible, refers to them as beasts. T H E Y ARE NOT four-footed beasts, but due to these 2,000 years in the hills and cavesides of Europe before the birth of Moses, they acquired the characteristics of beasts instead of human beings. They were reduced to the status of apes and monkeys. W E H A V E INTHE HOLY QUR-AN, which is the most true Book in the hands of human beings, a Surah or Chapter entitled, THE C A V E (Chap. 18). This Chapter teaches a portion of the history of the white race in those 2,000 years before Moses. IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, Jesus demanded this specific qualification (hate) of whomever would become his follower. (Luke 14:26), although it was not given in a very intelligent way. The truth of it is, he cares nothing about disbelieving parents, disbelieving brothers, or disbelieving sisters. He considered them as his enemies and the Believers should consider them as their enemies regardless to the closeness of kin. This is a Law. The Holy Qur-an teaches you that you will not see a Believer befriend

a disbelieving people though they be their near of kin. This is commonly practiced by all of civilization whether they be religious or not. IT IS T H E NATURE O F PEOPLE, that if you do not like what they like or believe as they do, hatred of each other is seen between them. Here Jesus bears witness to the God's hatred of even a brother of a brother who is not a Believer. THE CHRISTIANS BACK UP THE MINISTRY and teachings of Jesus by saying he taught love. They leave out the fact that he taught hate too. They left in the things with which they could quickly enslave the Black Man. THE W H I T E MAN DID NOT TEACH the Black Preachers the true theology of the Bible. Jesus classified the priest and the preacher as being blind, scripturally: 'the blind leading the blind and they both fall in the ditch (hell).' Bible, Rev. 19:20. A L L A H (GOD) Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, To Whom Praises are Due forever, has taught me the knowledge of the Bible and now the Holy Qur-an, translated by the Muslim Scientists. IT IS T H E V E R Y NATURE OF P E O P L E , T O H A T E ONE ANOTHER WHEN T H E Y ARE NOT UNITED T O EACH OTHER.

brought to us, is: FIRST: The knowledge of self. SECOND: Accept your own. If a man is without the knowledge of self, moreso, he is without the knowledge of what belongs to him. THIRD: Join your Holy Nation, Islam. This tells the Black Man of America to what Nation and People he belongs and is a member of and should join onto. IF T H E ABOVE is given a second look and study, then no one will have to say, "Do you believe in the Resurrection of the Dead?" IT IS C L E A R L Y T H E RISE OF T H E BLACK-ONCE S L A V E of the White Americans, for 400 years. He is seeking his own self and kind. This is truly the Resurrection of the Lost-Found Mentally Dead. THE BIBLE, Luke 15:24, makes it clear that the Prodigal S on was lost and now found, was dead and is now alive. He was not physically dead, he was mentally dead. ON THE FINDING OF THE BLACK

MAN by God Himself (his Father) you hear a language spoken by the Black Man today that he has never spoken before, in his history in the Western Hemisphere. HE CALLS IT, T A L K I N G BLACK,' or 'i WANT BLACK.' This means, " I want myself and I am tired of living other than myself. I want to live according to my own Black nature and I want to unite with my own Black kind. I want something that I can call my own. I do not want a job only. I want some earth; a territory or country to myself. I will make a job for myself." HE REALIZES THAT H E HAS SPENT CENTURIES with an enemy race of people. He lost these centuries. He has nothing to show for them but slavery and ignorance of self and others. NOW HE WANTS to go from the slave-master and the slave-master does not want his slave to go free, for himself. The slave-master desires to give him a false promise, that if he will stay with him he will share social equality with him. THE SLAVE-MASTER DOES NOT PROMISE HIM AN EQUAL SHARE IN T H E EARTH. WHY?

By Elijah M u h a m m a d Messenger of Allah Because of Allah coming to us in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, teaching us that glorious, much prophesied Truth that will put us, the Black once slaves of white America, into heaven while we live, should we be so foolish to reject that Truth which has been brought to us to take us out of this condition of hell (subjected to white Americans); should we be ashamed to confess the Truth publicly before our ever open enemies of both the Truth and of the Black Man or deny the Name of Allah, Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, To Whom Praises are Due forever, for the nonlove and friendship of an evil people who were made by nature to hate and mistreat the Black people of the earth?

To be ashamed to confess the God of our salvation makes us unworthy of that God's help and the salvation which He has brought to us. Some of us, in the presence of white people, will deny our raivation while the white people do not, by any means, deny their hatred of the Black Man or their plans and their actions of robbery and death to the Black Man. The white people follow the nature in which they were made, but you do not follow the nature in which you were created (righteousness and truth). There are many B l a c k educators, scholars, and scientists who try to keep false friendship of the white people. They dare not accept the Name of God which shall live. Âť Being ashamed of your own God and your own self before this evil world is like eating fire.

W b 'e THANK the public for its patronage of YOUR Supermarket (8345 South Cottage Grove) and SALAAM Restaurant (8300 South Cottage Grove.) We will soon have all the plans for these two places carried out to your enjoyment. The food in both places (YOUR Supermarket and SALAAM Restaurant) is about the best we can find. At the present time, we are trying to supply them with our own farm raised chickens. I am sure once you taste them, you will want to eat none other than YOUR Supermarket chickens. I had not eaten a half chicken at one time in many years, until last week when I dined off some of our farm-raised chickens and I still had a taste for the other half (smile). And, the prices are right. Just try one for yourself. We hope to give you, this year, fresh vegetables of all kinds, from the farm. We hope also to give you, sometime this year, your own farm raised meat, such as beef and lamb, and your own milk and butter. If you would only unite and get behind me, Allah Will set you in heaven at once. Eat the good things of life from YOUR Supermarket and SALAAM Restaurant! Enjoy yourself in an atmosphere of peace and cleanliness, without the foul atmosphere found in many places. Soon, we will have the proper laborers who will give to you proper and lovely service, as you desire. We have to experiment with those who claim that they are qualified for such service. We pray that you will forgive us for any past disservice in these two establishments. Write us and tell us what you think of YOUR Supermarket and SALAAM Restaurant (which means peace). Do any criticizing that you like and we will do our utmost to correct any mistakes that you point out to us. We are your brothers and sisters. Let us live together. Thank you very much for your patronage.

(In nations outside the United States, there is a great deal of turmoil and struggle among peoples who are recognizing the true nature of their governments and the system on which they operate. This is especially true in Latin American, Asian and African countries which the Western press likes to refer to as belonging to the "free" world and where the only actual freedoms are the owners' rights to freely exploit the people and resources of these lands. In these nations, pro-people movements are mercilessly crushed by the ruling powers — often with murder and the undisguised aid of the United States, which usually has deep interests in such regimes. Such was the case in the Dominican Republic in 1965, when the nation's people rose up against a tyrannical government — only to be crushed by the military might of U.S. Marines and paratroop forces. Juan Martinez, a Dominican youth sharply remembers the fighting on the streets of Santo Domingo . . . During a recent solidarity conference in Montreal, Martinez spoke with MUHAMMAD SPEAKS. The following is his story). By JOE WALKER and SKIP BOSSETTE MONTREAL—"The United States and its Dominican Republic front-men would have you believe that in my country there is a democratic government. But it is not true. "The people back home live under a facade of democracy and ruthless rule," declared Juan Martinez, a founder and international affairs secretary of the United Front for Dominican Liberation. MUHAMMAD SPEAKS spoke with the 20-year-old Dominican patriot at the recent Hemisphere Conference to End the War in Viet Nam. Explaining why he came to the conference in Canada, Martinez "the U.S. is enemy number JUAN MARTINEZ tells of his people's battle,to expel foreign said one of the colored peoples of the domination and the corrupt regime which is living off the Its tentacles of oppression lifeblood of the people of the Dominican Republic.

literacy is high and political oppression is i n c r e a s i n g , " said Martinez. "Hundreds of people have been killed since Balaguer took over and Martinez claims it is the regime's intention to eliminate every person who took part in the 1965 revolution," the youth, who was one of those who fought, continued. The Dominican Republic has a long history of its people's fight for self-determination. The island of Hispaniola (which today is Haiti and the Dominican Republic) was claimed for Spain by Columbus in 1492. It was the first European-controlled real estate in the Western Hemisphere and served as a springboard for Spanish conquest of the Caribbean and the mainland.

discovery of Mexico and Peru, an epidemic of smallpox, several earthquakes and the ravages of Dutch, English and French buccaneers, half of the 60,000 population died or were killed. In 1697, Spain was compelled to acknowledge French domination over the western third of the island (Haiti). In 1821, Dominicans — led by Jose Nunez de Caceres — overthrew the Spanish forces and proclaimed their independence. The following year, Santo Domingo was invaded by neighboring Haiti and — for the next 22 years — Haitians occupied the country and oppressed its inhabitants. Independence was regained by the Dominicans in 1844. IT WAS A rocky time in the years that followed as the Dominicans fought off Haitian invasions. Santo Domingo fell back into the hands of Spain in 1861 and remained there until 1865 when Spanish troops withdrew after suffering many wounds in continuous revolts by the populace. Foreign intrigue continued to be r a m p a n t and there were many successive revolutions and corrupt governments. In 1916, the United States imposed a U.S. military government which ran the show until 1924, when alleged sovereignty was restored. But the native replacements in the Dominican government were no more than pawns of the North American giant. One of the most notorious was Rafael Trujillo. In view of his nation's history, Dominican freedom fighter Juan M a r t i n e z feels that "armed struggle is the only avenue open to us now, although we know this is quite hard." He said that there are hundreds of Green Berets in the Dominican Republic although the U.S. doesn't admit it, and other American troops there make up one of the largest concentrations of U.S. military forces in Latin America, (to be continued)

A PRELIMINARY report on an Army study of soldiers killed in Viet Nam was made here recently by Lt. Col. Kenneth H. Cooper, director of the Aerospace Medical Laboratory in San Antonio, Tex., and an expert on the relation between diet, exercise and heart disease. Dr. Cooper said the Viet Nam study shows a higher incidence of arteriosclerosis ( h a r d e n i n g and clogging of the arteries) than a .similar study made of Korean War dead.

IN BOTH studies, the men apparently were healthy when they were killed. But the clogging of the arteries would have made them prone to heart attacks later in life.

Anxiety

THE PSYCHIATRIST, Dr. Ferris N. Pitts, Jr., believes 10,000,000 persons in America have attacks of anxiety neurosis. In the chronic state, there are symptoms of smothering, heart palpitation and fear of a heart attack. The symptoms are so frightening that the anxiety neurotic quickly seeks medical attention. Yet, a physical examination shows no abnormality and laboratory tests are negative. Dr. Pitts said 10 to 30 per cent of the patients of most general practitioners and internists have anxiety neuroses. The psychiatrist got the idea for injecting lactic acid after studying s c i e n t i f i c literature, which shows that a rise in lactic acid in the blood is excessive in anxiety neurotics. The mechanism by which lactic acid produces the neurosis is not clear. Dr. Pitts believes that the neurotics produced a large amount of lactate in response to secretion of adrenalin. They also may have a metabolic defect that results in an overproduction. The condition often runs in families. Dr. Pitts found that when calcium was added to the lactic

Between six and 10 per cent of the 300 Korean War dead studied showed "real bad disease," with more than half of an artery blocked, said Dr. William F. Enos, a colonel attached to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. The new study shows that "we have more signs of heart disease among 18-to-23-year-old men than we had in the Korean War," said Dr. Cooper. Studies by pathologists of the hearts of war victims is the only way doctors can get a large sampling of young men and see how likely they are to suffer from diseases later in life.

ST. L O U I S —A psychiatrist here said he has induced attacks of painful fear and tenseness known as "anxiety neurosis" by i n j e c t i n g patients with lactic acid, a normal substance produced by the body's metabolism of sugar to energy.

WASHINGTON—More of America's young men have diseased arteries and are prone to heart attack now than 15 years ago when a study of Korean War dead found that as many as 30 per cent of soldiers between 18 and 22 years of age "showed significant signs of hardening of the arteries."

The murder of the great son of Africa, Patrice Emergy Lumumba of the Congo, shows what they will do to continue thencrimes. Portuguese tyrant Antonio Salazar calls himself "Salazar of Portugal," but we will never accept him as "Salazar of Angola" or "Salazar of Mozambique." He named our countries as provinces of his small nation of criminals and looters. Will; he be ready to accept, one day, his nation as a province of Mozambique? The so-called Christian and civilized nations like Portugal have shown us that they p r a c t i c e "Christianity" by r o b b i n g African wealth, which they have done since they first invaded Africa in the 14th centruy. But we dedi c a t e our lives and our deaths to liberate our beloved continent and support that goal as pronounced by Drs. Kwame Nkrumah and R o b e r t Mangaliso Sobukwe of the African Continental Union. Accepting this goal is the first step forward to the l i b e r a t i o n of all Africans scattered around the world. Before the Europeans invaded the African continent hundreds of years ago, there was a true u n d e r s t a n d i n g and equality among the entire people of the continent. But the invaders destroyed many African states, inc l u d i n g : Muanamotapa, Mankuse, Muzila, Maueue, Bongas, Mutaka and Makombe with their major cities located at places such as Barue, Beta, Muembe, Massangano (which means parliament) and Luangua in Mozambique. THIS HISTORY proves that Christianity in Portuguese and other European colonies in Africa was brought not to "save" the African people but to destroy them and their societies and to steal their gold and other riches. At first, the African armies were defeating the colonial soldiers sent to conquer them. Facing military failure, the soldiers were r e i n f o r c e d with "Jesuit Priests." By taking advantage of the religious sympathies of the African people, Europe paved an easy road to the colonialization of our continent.

Muhammad, I can talk to people and understand them better. Before that I was living a bad life out there on the streets and concrete jungles of America. Now, I will forever give all praise to Allah, for His Messenger, truly a Man from God. Islam has helped in various ways to clean my larcenous thinking. I am glad to be part of our Great Proud Nation of Islam. For those of our poor, uneducated and intellectual high-minded, high-class people, who doubt the existence of God, I would urge them to study the life of His Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

ISLAM HAS delivered me from the darkness of complete, shameful ignorance and fear into an everlasting knowledge of true pride, culture and understanding. The innumerable things that Islam has done for me can be spoken of until eternity. I was never a smoker of cigarettes, etc., nor was I a drinker of alcohol, or a great user of narcotics. In fact, I was never what could be classed as a "way-out Negro," but I was an "ignorant" Negro indeed.

{Muhammad Sp*oki Washington Bureau)

WASHINGTON—Meeting at the Sheraton Park Hotel here in the Nation's Capital, more than 1,000 old line civil rights veterans celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights. THE G A T H E R I N G ' S attendance list read like "who's who" in civil rights, white or Black. At least 100 organizations, dedicated to "integration," "amalgamation," "assimilation," and all else between total slavery and separation, met for what appeared to be the final swan song of the civil rights era. From one view, the conference appeared a mild, social civilrights - a l u m n u s get - together. Back-patting and hymn-singing praises to right's "stalwarts" such as former Vice President Hubert H. H u m p h r e y and NAACP executive secretary, Roy Wilkins, were in order. From another view, delegates seemed to be tacitly acknowledging that tne civil rights ball game was over, and that another game now was being played. The new game, militancy, and the crescendoing demands for separation—with all new rules—appeared 'something to be feared, rather than accepted gracefully as inevitable. Roy Wilkins, who r e c e n t l y came in for a brief bit of press coverage for his threats against Black Studies programs shared the spotlight with the Vice President who was hailed for promoting "20 years of progress in civil

JACKSONVILLE — Tragically, Mrs. Acey Ferrell misunderstood. Her misunderstanding, simply and dreadfully means that young, probable white killer will remain free to perhaps kill more Black youths. . . THE DEEPER tragedy actually started during a period of larger than life tragedy, the week that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated. On the night of April 9th, 1968, R u d o l p h Homer Hargett, 18, home on leave from the air force, was slain by a rifle blast fired from a speeding car, loaded down with a band of white youths. Last week, a jury composed of two Negro women, a white woman and three white men—acting like a Kangaroo court—decided that 24-year-old, Lee Charles Bradley, the w h i t e originally charged with Hargett's slaying was not guilty. Now, one of the Negro women on that jury claims that she

V o t e Error thought she was voting for a second-degree murder conviction when she voted to acquit the youth. President of the Jacksonville NAACP branch told the Associated Press Sunday, that his group intends to try to reopen the case; however, he reported following, desolate events: —"She (Mrs. F e r r e l l ) didn't know that if they all said 'yes' and she said 'no' it would result in a hang jury; —She is not literate, she's what you would call semi-literate. She's a person that you could easily mix up in a testimony; —"The other negro woman, a Mary Black, was unapproachable . . . There was just no use in talking to her. She was brought up in a society where negroes were led to believe that everything the white man says is right," Lee said. Sounding more like the old

THE INSULT of the "Harlem on My Mind" exhibit at NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art was that it mainly portrayed white minds' attitudes towards Black Harlem. Because of this colonial and condescending attitude, Afro-Americans retaliated by defacing some so-called classical western art in the museum. South than ever before, Mrs. Ferrell—according to Lee—is too timid and meek to say anything to obtain a new trial. "She was afraid for her life at

the trial and even though she wanted to stand up and scream when the foreman of the jury read the verdict she didn't or couldn't."

Amazing Art of 'Primitive' World through Black Eyes By Bill Quinn NEW Y O R K — I n New York City, the Western world's grandest center of art and culture, there is a Museum of Primitive Art. The museum's name would imply that its c o n t e n t s are "r o u g h, crude, simple"—even "uncivilized" (for these are all terms Webster's Dictionary uses to define " p r i m i t i v e " ) . Yet, housed there is a good cross-section of the most sophisticated artworks of Africa, Polynesia and the pre-Columbian Americas. NEARBY IS the Museum of Modern Art.

BUENOS AIRES—Sugar mill w o r k e r s — on whose backs the U.S. and Argentinian exploiters built huge profits—are protesting the U.S. puppet government's decisions to close several refineries now that the big business interests have skimmed their profits off the top. MORE THAN 10,000 workers and peasants at the town of Bella Vista rallied in their town square to condemn their government's slavish obedience to "U.S. interests. The sugar refineries- in this area are the ones their government closed down. Police acting to support' the fascist exploiters tried to intimidate the p r o t e s t o r s , but the workers responded by prolonging their rally. Dozens of sugar mill workers went on a hunger strike to protest the closing of the refinery. They hope that this method of exposing the fascists' disregard for the welfare of the working people will be successful. But since they know from history that it usually takes more than moral protests to break the exploiters' grip on a nation, many of them are preparing to launch a more forceful attack against U.S.-backed fascism.

" ELI WILSON $ ClEAKERS

The question is not, however, whether the first museum should be called "primitive"—for the word also means "original," and that, the art of the world's Black peoples is to be certain. One might wonder about the name of the second museum, since the most modern ideas in graphics and sculpture in the "Modern" museum look just like the "rough, crude, simple" and "uncivilized" works in the "Primitive" museum. TO ISOLATE the artworks of Africa and other Black nations of the world from those of Europe and white America and house them in a so-called "Primitive" museum is not only to imply an "uncivilized" essence to them by definition, it is also to suggest—by applying the term •Modern" to their white-made imitations—that they are somehow of a less artistic, less creative nature by comparison. White Chicago is even less res p e c t f u l of African art than white New York. Examples of the "fine" art of 20 centuries of white "culture" are housed in Chicago's famous Art Institute. Aside from the Institute's pitiful little assemblage of African s c u l p t u r e — f a r surpassed by many private c o l l e c t i o n s in Black homes around the cityChicago can boast no African art in its fine art museums. INSTEAD, at the Field Museum of Natural History, built to display the city's collection of p r e h i s t o r i c animals, fossils, mummies and the tools and artifacts of "primitive" man, we find much African, Polynesian and pre-Columbian A m e r i c a n fine art. The Field Museum, for example, owns some of the finest Benin (Nigeria) bronze sculpture in the world. Benin castings, by the way, are admitted by the white man to be finer than anything ever done along similar lines to this day. This great work was being done at the time the first white man arrived on the shores of Africa. When asked why the Benin castings and other examples of

Black art were exhibited in a storehouse of artifacts and curios such as the Field Museum and not in the Art Institute, one of the curators feebly grinned, "It's because of the prevailing view (among whites) of African art as 'handiwork.'" STANGER? Not really. Just another of the white man's flagrant outrages against the Black world's culture, a minor star in his galaxy of crimes at that. It is now known to most that the white world has either made a mockery of, or obliterated, the Black man's prodigious contribution to world culture. Therefore, the disposition of African fine art in white America's museums and exhibit halls is not the most earth-shaking of the white man's transgressions against Black culture. Over the past four centuries, however, white deprecation of Black art has been a prime factor in the erosion of Black selfrespect—as well as world respect for the Black aesthetics. IN THESE GLORIOUS days of irrepressible Black pride, there is again a wide-spread interest in Black art and it is growing stronger. The white man has discovered this and, accordingly, he has begun to publish many colorful—and costly—books on the subject. From the fat inventory of new books on African art, one might assume that a new form of e x p r e s s i o n had just been launched from the jaws of Black Africa in the last year or two— instead of a thousand years before the pyramids. This column is the first of a series devoted to Black art. Its purpose will be to examine the history, and highlight some of the infinite examples of, African and Afro-American art and artists. In addition, Black museums and some fortunate Black Americans own superb collections of ancestral art. On occasion, thanks to the hospitality of these museums and collectors, we shall take a look at t h e i r proud, sophisticated, "primitive" (read " o r i g i n a l " ) displays. A S I A N

"They would be at the absolute bottom of my flu vaccination list." This doctor ordered 120 vaccine doses in September for his heart disease, emphysema and diabetes patients, but did not get his first vaccine until Jan. 10. THE FOOTBALL P L A Y E R S and g o v e r n m e n t officials got shots in late November and early December.

NAIROBI—Kenya has a c t e d swiftly and decisively against one of what it calls "pressure groups bent on stirring up interracial disharmony and discord." LAST WEEK, the Kenyan government issued an order against the secretary of the Committee on United Kingdom Citizenship, which barred his entry into the country. Praful Patel learned of the ban when he arrived in the capital. He was told he had been

The CUKC official had intended to institute a survey among 3,000 Asian traders to determine the veracity of charges that they were in danger of being put out of business by the new trade licensing laws promulgated by the Kenyan government. He was to be joined in his activities by Martin Ennals, secretary-general, Amnesty International. Though Patel claimed opinion

P e a r l

By Dwight Casimere (Pan African Press) The ability to transform even the most minute task into an art is a long-recognized phenomenon of oppressed people. Not exempt from this quality is the display of ability by Afro-Americans in the athletic contest of basketball. FROM THE playground contests of Black youth in the streets of American cities, to the coming of the first Afro-American player to the ranks of professional basketball, Blacks have pioneered new dimensions in the method and progress of playing the game. Earl 'The Pearl' Monroe, star guard for the Baltimore Bullets, in his sophomore professional year is proof of the unmatchable style and endurance professional basketball teams seek out among Black athletes. This year, with the combined talents of Monroe and Black t e a m m a t e s Gus Johnson and Wesley Unseld, all top scorers in the league, the Baltimore Bullets have risen to the No. 1 spot in A SALUTE TO Tommie Smith and John Carlos

the highly competitive Eastern Division. "The Black man is dominating professional b a s k e t b a l l , " the Pearl exclaimed in an exclusive i n t e r v i e w for MUHAMMAD SPEAKS. "Sixty-five per cent of the men on the pro teams now are Black." I talked to 'The Pearl' in his hotel room at the Sheraton-Chicago shortly before he and his teammates trounced the Chicago Bulls in a 116 to 93 victory. A LEAN 6'3" (a median height for today's basketball player), he has the rare ability to preserve a remarkably colorful and inven-

tive playing style white operating at break-neck speeds. From his b a c k - c o u r t position as guard, Monroe frequently initiates the lightning quick, fast break patterns which have sustained for his team an unprecedented winning streak. Suffering from an infrequent arthritic condition, a handicap which afforded him a 4-F physical disability exemption from the armed s e r v i c e s , 'The Pearl' sometimes plays under intense pain. The condition, as is obvious when he is on the court, in no way impairs his performance. The key to Monroe's amazing career lies in the athletic feats

he accomplished while attending Winston-Salem College in North Carolina. His scoring feats during his four years there now stand as historic, unbroken records. A CAMPUS newspaper, describing a string of games in which he scored in the area of 60 points per game, wrote in a picture caption "these are Earl's

pearls." He later adopted the phrase as his nick-name "The Pearl.' Relaxing in his bright-orange team sweatsuit, he spoke candidly of his playing style that has emerged as one of the most colorful in basketball history. "Basketball is me. It's my stick," he said. " I play the way (Continued on page 3 9 )

A c c e l e r a t i n g By Preston MerrUl and John Spears Members of the Afro-American Students Union, the Asian-American Political Alliance and the Mexican-American Student Confederation have formed the Third World Liberation Front around the following basic interests and issues: 1) the autonomy of a third World College and funds for implementing Third World D e p a r t m e n t s ; 2) more Third World personnel at all levels, both academic and non-academic — fuller Third World participation in the University, 3) increased- enrollment, e c o n o m i c and a c a d e m i c aid for Third World Students, 4) participation of Third World people in every level of U n i v e r s i t y programs that involve any Third World community. THEY INTEND to strike until demands are met to the satisfaction of Central Committee of the TWLF of UCB. Over the past few years, each of the three minorities in the Third World Liberation Front have, had confrontations with the Administration over various issues. Up to this time the concessions granted by the Administration have been tokens to pacify the peoples' struggle. For nine months, the AfroAmerican Students Union has met with administration and academic senate representatives at UCB. A f t e r many discussions and numerous alterations made on the original student proposal for an autonomous department, the Executive Department of the College of Letters and Science decided to approve a Black Studies Program but not a Department. The proposal for the Black

He clouds the real issues by claiming that the University has met all of the demands of the Third World groups. The fundamental issue of the strike is the right of Third World people to determine the structure and content of the Third World programs on this campus. Although the Administration has granted some of the demands, it has insisted on maintaining control over Third World programs.

TAKAWIRA SHUMBA MAFUKIDZE When a Black man denounces the United States as an imperialist country, the white world recoils with h o r r o r . One who speaks against America is labeled "communist." I think we must awaken poor Americans who do not know or pretend not to know their country's imperialistic attitudes. America cannot be excluded from a list of imperialist countries when we look at her activities in Southern Africa. THE UNITED States is supporting white supremacy in its cruelest form in Rhodesia, South Africa, the Portuguese territories and South West A f r i c a . There are few white people who t h i n k of the V i e t n a m war in terms of imperialism. One wonders Nixon why and how Americans-got into Vietnam without a declaration of war. America has a heavy economic involvement in whiteruled Africa. It is arming these c o u n t r i e s against a passible unabated uprising by the Black people. Both inside and outside the United Nations, the U.S. government declarations favor majority rule in white-ruled Africa. It has denounced the Smith regime in Rhodesia and its illegal declaration of independence, its execution of freedom-fighters. But the United States has refused to endorse the use of force against Rhodesia. It .still maintains consular relations with the Smith regime.

the so-called mandatory economic sanctions. Two American brothers took over the Supersonic Radio Manufacturing company in Rhodesia when the United Nations called for mandatory economic sanctions. The company makes radios and television sets which are exported to America under South African names. In B u 1 a w a y o, Rhodesia, American businessmen have bought the four giant clothes-manufacturing f i r m s to counter act the bite of sanctions. These firms do not make any effort to follow fair employment policy toward Africans. The U.S. follows a similar pattern in South Africa. It maintains full diplomatic relations with South Africa, conforming to South African policy by sending an all-white staff.

The United States has even gone to the extent of regarding African g u e r r i l l a fighters as communist puppets. The same country has refused to train guerrillas to overthrow these minority regimes that stay in office in the name of western civilization, Christianity and all that junk. The United States has refused to respond to Zambia's appeal for sophisticated weapons in order to protect herself against combined South African, Rhodesian and Portuguese forces that violate her border.

United States will back those countries in which it has more investments. In this case, South Africa, Rhodesia, and Portugal are the ones. The threat of white minority and settler governments to invade an innocent, s o v e r e i g n Black nation cannot be condoned by any sane man. President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia warned that his country can no longer remain a spectator as long as the threat stands. The Zambian President went on to say that a racial war will be bloodier than the Vietnam one. It will be a war based on color and ideology. During his visit to Botswana last year, Kenneth Kaunda cried that the white world is going to lose all that it is trying to protect should the Westerners remain supporters of their white brothers. The white governments stand because of America's military and economic support. It is a myth to say that the U.S. wants Black people of these countries to be regarded as human beings. It has invited to its shores refugees of oppression from Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia and other countries. It has honored these people, fed them and supported them. This invitation has not been extended to fugitives from Rhodesia, South Africa and Portuguese territories. These happen to be Black and there seems to be no reason why the U.S. should risk to pour gas on the already burning racial conflict.

the proposed Zambia-Tanzania railway contract. The Chinese offered to help. This aroused sensation in the western press. The cry was that Zambia and Tanzania had fallen to communists. This is baseless and is what one can expect to hear from white people. It is illogical to say that one can become communist by receiving aid from communist c o u n t r i e s . What about those countries that are dancing to the tune of America? We would be equally wrong to conclude that they have turned imperialist like the U.S. itself. WITH THE ARMS race going on in Rhodesia and South Africa, and with South African troops stationed in Rhodesia and Caprivi strip, it is inevitable that a racial war is going to take place. These white oligarchies have proclaimed that they intend to invade Zambia in order to destroy the so-called terrorist camps. It is obvious that the

Monroe played basketball with a passion during his youth, almost to the exclusion of everything else. He did this, he said, because of his intense dislike for the distractions and squalor of the Philadelphia slums. "The ghetto is the most disheartening aspect of any Black man's life," he reflected.

the Black man behind a single idea. "When any nation unites behind a single goal to fight their enemy, they can overcome the opposition," he said. As a result of his recent 4-F reclassification by the Selective Service, Monroe said, with a twinkle in his eye, " I have become more passive on the draft issue." He quickly added, however, that he admired the stand of Muhammad Ali. "A man has to stand up and do what he thinks is right," he said of the Champ." He was right in doing his fight for his people." THE PREVIOUSLY outspoken stance of Earl 'The Pearl' on the p o l i t i c a l issues facing Blacks were followed by a series of efforts by pro athletic officials to silence him during his first season of major league basketball. Staying somewhat in the background during the virtual renaissance of Black athletic opinion d u r i n g late 1968, The Pearl stressed that he would be using his off season to "get my thing together."

STRIKERS MASS at gates of University of California at Berkeley campus. Police charged a group of strikers who had locked arms to close off entry to school. Students used bottles, stones, sticks and other objects to ward off billy-club attack. Goal of strikers is to separate Afro-Asian-Mexican programs from control of men who want to model minority peoples in image of white middle class "bourgeoisie."

The Messenger of Allah Presents

Sfje jWu^ltm Program fjat tfje jfflualims; Want This is the question asked most frequently by both the whites and the blacks. The answers to this question 1 shall state as simply as possible. 1. We want freedom. We want a full and complete freedom. 2. We want justice. E q u a l justice under the law. We want justice applied equally to all, regardless of creed or class or color. 3. We want equality of opportunity. We want equal membership in society with the best in civilized society. 4. We want our people in America whose parents or grandparents were descendants from slaves, to be allowed to establish a separate state or territory of their own—either on this continent or elsewhere. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to provide such land and that the area must be fertile and minerally rich. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to maintain'.and supply our needs in this separate territory for the next 20 to 25 years—until we are able to produce and supply our own needs. Since wc cannot get along with them in peace and equality, after giving them 400 y e a r s of our sweat and blood and receiving in return some of the worst treatment human beings have ever experienced, we believe our contributions to this land and the suffering forced upon us by white A m e r i c a , justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or territory of our own. 5. We want freedom for all Believers of I s l a m now held in federal prisons. We want freedom for all black men and women now under death sentence in innumerable prisons in the North as well as the South. We want every black man and woman to have the freedom to accept or reject being separated from the slave master's children and establish a land of their own. We know that the above plan for the solution of the black and white conflict is the best and only answer to the problem between two people.

6 We want an immediate end to the po lice brutality and mob attacks against the socalled Negro throughout the United States. We believe that the F e d e r a l government should intercede to see that black men and women tried in white courts receive justice in accordance with the laws of the land—or allow us to build a new nation for ourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom and liberty. 7. As long as we are not allowed to establish a state or territory of our own, we demand not only equal justice under the laws of the United States, but equal employment onportunities—NOW! We do not believe that after 400 y e a r s of free or nearly free labor, sweat and blood, which has helped A m e r i c a become rich and powerful, that so many thousands of black people should have to subsist on relief, charity or live in poor houses. 8. We want the government of the United States to exempt our people from A L L t a x a tion as long as we are deprived of equal justice under the laws of the land. 9. We want equal education—but separate schools up to 16 for boys and 18 for girls on the condition that the girls be sent to women's colleges and universities. We want a l l black children educated, taught and trained by their own teachers. Under such schooling system we believe we will make a better nation of people. The United States government should provide, free, all necessary text books and equipment, schools and college buildings. The Muslim teachers shall be left free to teach and train their people in the way of righteousness, decency and self respect. 10. We believe that intermarriage or race mixing should be prohibited. We want the religion of I s l a m taught without hinderance or suppression. These are some of the things that we, the Muslims, want for our people in North America.

iUtjat tfje Jflusltms Pelteue 1. W E B E L I E V E in the One God Whose proper Name is Allah. 2. W E B E L I E V E in the Holy Qur-an and in the Scriptures of all the Prophets of God. 3. W E B E L I E V E in the truth of the Bible, but we believe that it has been tampered with and must be reinterpreted so that mankind will not be snared by the falsehoods that have been added to it. 4. W E B E L I E V E in Allah's Prophets and the Scriptures they brought to the people. 5. W E B E L I E V E in the resurrection of the dead—not in physical resurrection—but in mental resurrection. Wc believe that the socalled Negroes are most in need of mental resurrection; therefore, they will be resur rected first.

F u r t h e r m o r e , we believe we are the peo pie of God's choice, as it has been written, that God would choose the rejected and the despised. We c a n find no other persons fitting this description in these last days more than the so-called Negroes in A m e r i c a . We believe in the resurrection of the righteous. 6. W E B E L I E V E in the judgement; we believe this first judgement will take place as God revealed, in A m e r i c a . . . T. W E B E L I E V E this is the time in his tory for the separation of the so-called Ne groes and the so-called white A m e r i c a n s . We believe the black man should be freed in name as well as in fact. B y this we mean that he should be freed from the names imposed upon him by h i s former slave masters. Names which identified him as being the slave master's slave. We believe that if we are free indeed, we should go in our own peo pie's names—the black peoples of the earth.

Elijah M u h a m m a d

8. W E B E L I E V E in justice for all, whether in God or not; we believe as others, that we are due equal justice as human beings. We believe in equality—as a nation — of equals. We do not believe that we are equal with our slave masters in the status of "freed slaves." We recognize and respect American citizens as independent peoples and we respect their laws which govern this nation. 9. W E B E L I E V E that the offer of integration is hypocritical and is made by those who are trying to deceive the black peoples into believing that their 400-year-old open enemies of freedom, justice and equality are, all of a sudden, their "friends." Furthermore, we believe that such deception is intended to prevent black people from realizing that the time in history has arrived for the separation from the whites of this nation. I f the white people are truthful about their professed friendship toward the socalled Negro, they can prove it by dividing up A m e r i c a with their slaves. We do not believe that America will ever be able to furnish enough jobs for her own millions of unemployed, in addition to jobs for the 20.000,000 black people as well. 10. W E B E L I E V E that we who declared ourselves to be righteous Muslims, should not participate in wars which take the lives of humans. We do not believe this nation should force us to take part in such wars, for we have nothing to gain from it unless America agrees to give us the necessary territory wherein we may have something to fight for. 11. W E B E L I E V E our women should be respected and protected as the women of other nationalities are respected and protected. 12. W E B E L I E V E that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. F a r d Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited "Messiah" of the Christians and the "Mahdi" of the Muslims. We believe further and lastly that Allah is God and besides H I M there is no God and He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we all can live in peace together.
