Observers generally agree that the Muslims were quite effective in rehabilitating many antisocial and criminal types by fostering in them a possible self-image and pride in their blackness.

The significant fact is that the Muslims were able to alleviate much of the Negro's individual self-hatred without holding up or espousing integration or "full acceptance" of the black man into American white society.—Dr. Poussaint.

100,000 Carry Dread TB Germ One h u n d r e d thousand Americans are now walking the streets unaware they are harboring the deadly Infectious Tuberculosis germ, the American Medical Association journal reports.

None are safe, Today's Health states. T B can be spread through the everyday acts of coughing, sneezing and spitting. It is contracted mainly by breathing air contaminated with the disease.

B Y T H E T I M E symptoms appear — fever, weight loss, coughing, and blood spitting —the disease has reached a point where cure is difficult.

Some won't recover. The disease claimed 10,000 lives in a recent year.

From each National that I sell I will give one dollar to the National Center Fund. With 22,000,000 people, it will not take long for the Holy Apostle to get the Center and nobody will be hurt. The lapel pin sells for only $3.50 and the M.G.T. and G . C . C . bar pin sells for $6.50, that will not hurt anybody, and we will have the center.

If you have one pin, you should buy another one, to help the Holy Apostle get the Center.

the Want •*J

T h i s i st h e q u e s t i o n a s k e d m o s t f r e q u e n t ly b y both the whites and the blacks. The answers t o this question I shall state a s simply as possible.

1. W e w a n t f r e e d o m . W e w a n t a full a n d complete freedom.

2. W e w a n t j u s t i c e . E q u a l j u s t i c e u n d e r t h e l a w . W ew a n t j u s t i c e a p p l i e d e q u a l l y t o all, regardless o fcreed o rclass o r color.

3. W e w a n t e q u a l i t y o f o p p o r t u n i t y . W e w a n t e q u a l m e m b e r s h i p i ns o c i e t y w i t h t h e best in civilized society.

4. W e w a n t o u r p e o p l e i n A m e r i c a whose parents o r grandparents were descendants f r o m slaves, t o b ea l l o w e d t o establish a separate state o rterritory of their own—either o n this c o n t i n e n t o r elsewhere. W ebelieve t h a t our f o r m e r slave masters are obligated t o provide such land and that the area m u s t b e fertile and m i n e r a l l y rich. W e believe that o u r f o r m e r slave m a s t e r s a r eobligated t o m a i n tain and supply our needs in this separate terr i t o r y f o r t h e n e x t 20 t o 25 y e a r s — u n t i l w e a r e a b l e t op r o d u c e a n d s u p p l y o u r o w n n e e d s .

Since w ecannot get along with t h e m i n peace a n d equality, after giving t h e m 400 years o f our sweat and blood and receiving i n r e t u r n s o m e o f the w o r s t t r e a t m e n t h u m a n beings have ever experienced, w e believe our contributions t o this land a n dt h e suffering forced upon us b ywhite America, justifies our d e m a n d f o rc o m p l e t e s e p a r a t i o n i na state o r territory o four own.

- 5. W ew a n t f r e e d o m f o r a l l B e l i e v e r s o f Islam now held i n federal prisons. W e w a n t freedom for all black m e n and w o m e n now u n der death sentence i ninnumerable prisons i n the N o r t h a sw e l l a sthe S o u t h .

We want every black m a n and w o m a n t o have t h efreedom t o accept o r reject being separated f r o m t h eslave master's children and establish a land o ftheir owg.

W e k n o w that the above plan for the solution o f the black a n d w h i t e conflict i s the best and only answer t o the problem between two people.

6. W ew a n t a n i m m e d i a t e e n dt o t h e p o lice b r u t a l i t y a n d m o b a t t a c k s against the socalled Negro throughout the United States.

W e b e l i e v e t h a t t h eF e d e r a l government should intercede t osee that black m e n a n d w o m e n t r i e d i nw h i t e c o u r t s r e c e i v e j u s t i c e i n accordance with the laws o fthe land—or allow us t obuild a n e w n a t i o n f o rourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom and liberty.

7. A s long* a s W e a r e n o t a l l o w e d t o e s tablish a state o r territory o f our own. w e d e m a n d not only equal justice under the laws o f the United States, but equal e m p l o y m e n t o p portunities—NOW! W e d on o t believe t h a t a f t e r 400 y e a r s o f free o r nearly free labor, sweat a n d blood, which h a s helped A m e r i c a become richa n d powerful, that s o m a n y thousands o f black people should have t osubsist on relief, charity or live in poor houses.

8. W e w a n t t h e g o v e r n m e n t o ft h e U n i t e d States t o exempt our people f r o m A L L taxat i o n a sl o n g a sw e a r e d e p r i v e d o f e q u a l j u s tice under the laws o fthe land.

9. W e w a n t e q u a l e d u c a t i o n — b u t s e p a r a t e schools u p t o16f o rboys and 18 f o rgirls o n the condition that the girls b esent t o women's c o l l e g e s a n d u n i v e r s i t i e s . \ V ew a n t a l l b l a c k children educated, taught and trained b y their own teachers.

Under such schooling system w e believe w e will m a k e a better nation o fpeople. T h e United States government should provide,

free, all necessary text books and equipment, schools a n dcollege buildings. T h e M u s l i m teachers s h a l l b eleft free t oteach a n d t r a i n their people i nthe w a y o frighteousness, decency and self respect.

10. W e believe t h a t i n t e r m a r r i a g e o r r a c e m i x i n g s h o u l d b ep r o h i b i t e d . W e w a n t t h e religion o fI s l a m taught without hinderance o r suppression.

6. W E B E L I E V E i n t h e j u d g e m e n t ; w e believe this first j u d g e m e n t will take place a s God revealed, in America . ..

Furthermore, w e believe that such deception i sintended t o prevent black people f r o m realizing that the t i m e in history has arrived for the separation f r o m the whites o f this nation.

If the white people are truthful about their professed friendship t o w a r d the so-called N e -
