Message to the Blackman in America! November 5, 1965

H E welcome publication this month of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's "Message to the Blackman in T America" marks a blazing new day in the history of lifegiving literature available for black people the world over.

Muhammad, who for decades—whether in good health or ill health, whether in danger or security—never failed to deliver Allah's own message to the black man in America —directly to his ears or directly to his doorstep. He has collected some of the most potent of these deliverances and the sum total of their revelations is astounding.

IT IS T H E message which has enabled hundreds of thousands of black men, women and children to climb out of the mud, to wrest themselves out of the grip of their enslavers by responding and recognizing the Last Messenger of Allah—and that truth has spread so today until the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is rightfully regarded as the most powerful black man on earth; truly the leader with the only divine solution to the problems of the black man in this corrupt and doomed civilization.

Muhammad's book is one of historic importance, for it puts into the hands of the literate, or soon-to-be literate, a map for their guidance; a tool with which to build, medicine with which to heal and food for nourishment. And above all, it gives them truth, the greatest weapon of all; truth to withstand those who would mislead and bring about the destruction of our people.

indeed the bread and light of life. Each chapter is a candle that reveals hitherto hidden crevices in the caves of our existence — and lights the way to liberation and freedom.

In its dedication, this humble but gifted man — whose love for his people goes deeper than any yet known—says simply: "to my people . . . the so-called American Negro.

Freedom, Justice, Equality, Happiness, Peace of Mind, Contentment, Money, Good Jobs, Decent Homes—all these can be yours if you accept your God, Allah, now and return to his and your original religion, Islam."

MUHAMMAD'S "Message to the Blackman" is a book that strikes the oppressors of black America a mighty blow.

Its sales and wide-spread circulation are a barometer which the most avid enemies of black people will be watching.

That it is destined to become history's highest-selling book in black communities will astound some and satisfy others—for it is a book that must be in the home of every family among the 22 million of our people here in this land.

It will be read by every official, judge, politician and Congressman in this country. It also must be read by you and IT IS T R U E that some who read few books of any sort read today. are accustomed to saying, "bread before books." But here is a book so unlike any yet published in America that it is IN THE W E E K S to come, there will be crescendos of

The New Slavery: An

African's

CAIRO — Neither Europe nor America gave up willingly its control over the v a s t riches of Africa — and if its peoples were granted some semblance of self - government, the old colonialism w e n t to work in new ! clothes.

T H E NAME G I V E N for the new imperialism by Africans has been "neo-colonialism" and the most accurate definition of it has been made by a black African leader who received his early training in America, President Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana.

What is neo-colonialism?

Mr. Nkrumah describes it this way: The essence of neo-colonialism is that the State which is subject to it is, in theory, independent and has all the outward trappings of international sovereignty. \pi R E A L I T Y its economic system and thus its political policy are directed from outside.

The methods and form of this direction can take various shapes. For example, in an extreme case t h e troops of the imperial power may garrison the territory of the neo-colonial State and control the government of it. More often, however, neocolonialist control is exercised through economic or monetary means.

T H E NEO-C O L O N I A L State may be obliged to take the manufactured products of the imperial power to the exclusion of competing products from elsewhere.

Control over government policy in the neo-colonial State may be secured by payments towards the cost of running the State, by the provision of civil servants in positions where they can dictate policy, and by monetary control over foreign exchange through the imposition of a banking system controlled by the imperial power.

W H E R E NEO-COLONIALISM exists, the power exercising control is often the State which formerly ruled the territory in question, but this is not necessarily so. For example, in the case of South Viet Nam, the former imperial power was France, but neo-colonial control of the State has now gone to the United States.

IT IS POSSIBLE that neocolonial control may be exercised by a consortium of financial interests which are not specifically identifiable with any particular State.

The control of the Congo

Definition

by great international financial concerns is a case in point.

The result of neo-colonialism is that foreign capital is used for the exploitation rather than for the development of the less developed parts of the world.

INVESTMENT under neocolonialism increases rather than decreases the gap between the rich and the poor countries of the world: A State in the grip of neocolonialism is not master of its own destiny.

It is this factor which makes neo-colonialism such a serious threat to world peace.

NEO - COLONIALISM is also the worst form of imperialism. For those w h o practice it, it means power without responsibility a n d for those who suffer from it, it means exploitation without redress.

Angola Black Patriots Kill Portuguese ACCRA, Ghana — A band of soldiers from the Angolan People's Liberation A r m y attacked and killed 62 Portuguese colonial troops, including a lieutenant, in the Sanga-Wanda area.

Announcement of the victory, as the Angolan government-in-exile continued its fight to free Angola from oppressive Portuguese rule, was made here by the Accra representative of t h e People's Liberation Movement.

The communique said the Portuguese t r o o p s were moving toward Bucu - Zau, where the Portuguese colonial government has great economic interests.

The freedom fighters from the APLA suffered no losses in the encounter.

Europe Fetes Black Chiefs LISBON — Fifty-three Uncle Tom-type Rhodesian tribal chiefs arrived here from London for a week's visit at the invitation of the Portuguese Government to see commercial and industrial centers in Portugal.

The weak-headed chiefs, who support white minority rule spent nine days in Britain visiting farms and factories as part of a plan to make them feel grateful to racist spokesman Ian Smith.

MUHAMMAD S P E A K S

T h e ^astralicr^ of N e g r o A by a White

Society

The struggle to secure quality education for black children in America lias thrown together all forward-looking forces in and out of the black ghettos; laboring classes, middle classes, profes sionals and civic leaders. A n historic conference around the question of "Education for the Negro Child" held recently in Chicago and sponsored almost exclusively by black educators brought forth some of the basic issues of this struggle.

Because of its significance and its bearing on the progresse of black people throughout the world, Muhammad Speaks will present some of its deliberations in a two part series, the first of which follows.

"America is attempting to methodically castrate Negro men. This society is trying to make us into eunuchs by disallowing us from playing the male role. If a culture fails to provide men with legitimate means to provide for and protect their families, it's inflicting a punishment worse than death, and this is the scheme they're attempting to perpetrate against the Negro male in America."

So said Edwin Berry, executive director of the Chi- disallowed to work because cago Urban League, during of current discrimination in an address before a Nation- jobs or past discrimination al Teachers' Conference in education, have to forage held in Chicago on "Crises for food by begging or stealin Education for the Negro ing.

"Any people can be sup- forced into this in a land of pressed and virtually en- abundance without peer in slaved without laying down the history of the world.''

of discrimination and the inhumanity of segregation.'

"MR. CHARLIE instructed us, as if we were plantation overseers, to go back and tell the rest to control and desist—only in politer terms. How long can this work?"

Berry said that in his studies of social change throughout history, he found that it is always led by the middle class. He pointed out that the Negro middle class is represented more by Negro teachers than by all the doctors, lawyers and dentists put together. There are more Negro teachers than all other Negro professionals, "unless we count the preachers and social workers," he said.

"And teachers can lose the civil - rights revolution without the power structure striking a blow. Vote or nc vote, violence or no violence if we lose the teachers, we have lost the revolution."

school population in Chicago is Negro and one-fourth the teachers are Negro," he continued. "Ben Willis,, the Chicago Superintendent of Schools, said he doesn't THAN half the know exactly how many Negro teachers are in the system. He says it's illegal to make a count on the basis of race — but he always seems to know who is white where better jobs are concerned.

"There are only 15 Negro elementary school principals and only five high school principals are Negro. The number of Negroes above the level of principal are so few they can hardly be found at all."

It's Different Story at Muslim School

Berry said black people have to depend upon teachers to do "one hell of a job" in the classrooms and also to help parents to understand what's happening.

"IT'S FROM the roles of teachers that we get the leaders in future societies," he asserted. "We cannot win without leaders. We cannot win without education.

We cannot win without establishing in our sons the goals set forth to build an American society where every man is capable of becoming what his potential will allow. Let us struggle toward this goal."

Black Leaders Find Unity in Opposition to Mayor Yorty

I AM A private citizen. I am a parent. I am a former teacher in the Los Angeles City Schools, having taught 13 years. Former teacher for the simple reason that I dared speak out against police brutality in the Negro community.

Mayor Y o r t y was first contacted by me and other groups August 30, 1963. I have yet to receive a response. Chief Parker w a s also contacted by me by letter. I have yet to receive an answer from Chief Parker.

After I did not make any h e a d w a y with our local elected leaders, I attempted to contact Governor Brown because he is the head of the state and if all else fails, I feel that he is the one to be contacted on serious matters. I did get a letter from the governor but there was nothing done to show that he meant to put some meat into the Federal constitution and into the constitution of California.

SAN FRANCISCO — Black unity against Los Angeles' police brutality has j e l l e d here against the continuance in power of Mayor Sam Yorty whom Negro leaders say has earned the title of being a Western version of Birmingham's notorious anti-Negro Bull Connor.

Yorty is indeed a serious candidate for governor and if his visit to the Bay Area is "part of the buildup . . . we want him to know that he is likely to face solid Negro opposition throughout t h e state of California."

Many N e g r o leaders here express the opinion that Yorty is attempting to play the Mexican-American community against the Negro in the hope that this will enable him to slip through for another political term.

Ghana's

Gold

Output

ACCRA — A total of 59,470,526 fine ounces of gold was produced by Ghana in July this year, Mr. H. Benyah, chief inspector of mines has announced.

The cumulative figure for the C a l e n d a r year, was 460,413.016 fine ounces, he added.

"IT HAS B E E N my feelings—and I have been an officer in our organization for several years—that we have no gripes with the Negro community," he continued.

"We are fighting the establishment and the p o w e r structure only to the extent that we can let them know the needs and concerns of the Mexican-American - people."

The "Times" article states that Ralph C. Guzman, leader of a $500,000 Ford Found a t i o n research project which is investigating t h e

problems of Mexican-Americans in the United States, reported that a "terrible bitterness" was building up because of a widespread belief t h a t Mexican - Americans were being dismissed from many jobs to make way for Negroes. " T H I S BITTERNESS," Guzman is reported to have said, "was revealed in surveys that showed many Mexican-Americans feel it has now become fashionable to hire colored people and reject Mexican-American applicants."

Mr. Quevedo said that, with due respect to Dr. Guzman and the Ford Foundation, he is of the opinion that the survey was in very poor taste, to say the least. He said it's hard to believe Dr. Guzman made such a statement.

WHEN DR. GUZMAN was contacted, he repudiated the statement, joining with leaders of the Mexican - American Organization in a conference assembled at the Alexander Hotel. The conference unanimously denied that there was anti - Negro feelings among the MexicanAmerican population of Los Angeles.

NAACP Seeks to End Watts Area Whitewash

LOS A N G E L E S — T h e struggle to block the obvious whitewashing of savage police brutality, which inflicted more than 35 deaths on Negro residents of Watts during the recent so-called riot, continued here when the District C o u r t of Appeals turned down an NAACP appeal that more legal counsel be provided for nearly 4,000 persons arrested during the August revolt.

The NAACP has appealed to the Supreme Court for writs of prohibition and mandamus on behalf of four Negroes arrested d u r i n g the summer rioting, but they were referred to the Appellate Court, which made no comments on its decision in the case.

Rights Workers Killed; No Convictions

By Elijah Muhammad Messenger of Allah The Devil's Opposition to Man (Black Man) and the Devil's Insinuations.

Chapter 7, 3rd Verse: Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord and follow not beside Him any guardians. Little do you mind.

7:4 And how many a town have We destroyed? For Our punishment came to it by night or while they slept at midday.

7:5 Yet their cry when Our punishment came to them was nothing but that they said: surely we are wrong doers.

7:6 Then certainly We shall question those to whom Messengers were sent and We shall question the Messengers.

7:7 Then surely We shall relate to them with knowledge and We are never absent.

7:8 And the judgment on that day will be just. So as for those whose good deeds are heavy, they will be successful.

Chapter 7, 26th Verse: O children of Adam we have sent down to you clothing to cover your shame, and clothing for beauty, and clothing that guards against evil. That is the best. This is the Message of Allah that they may be mindful.

This is referring to the white race, after they stripped off their clothes and were naked in the caves and hillsides of E u r o p e to remind them today that they were given c l o t h e s to cover their body and shame, and then He clothed them with beauty, the clothing that guards against evil.

That is the Law and guidance of God that He gave to them through Moses and the Supreme Wisdom of how to protect themselves against mockery of civilizations — it was Supreme for their time.

Now with knowledge of decency and intelligence they have turned to the practice of going nude, partly nude, and acting indecent in order to tempt the world of Black Man to break the Law of decency and intelligence that their fathers were taught not to break.

This is to lead Black men and Black women astray from the respect of God (Allah) and decent society of man, so they will find a place of divine chatisement and doom along with them (the white race).

In the following verse (27) Allah still warns them, and the Black people here are mentioned.

Chapter 7, 27th Verse: O children of Adam let not the devil seduce you as he expelled your parents from the garden, pulling off from them their clothing that he might show them their shame. He surely sees you. He as well as his host from which you see them not. Surely He made the Devil's to be the friends of those who believe not.

Those who believe not is referring to the American socalled Negro (Black Man). The devil becomes their friends and guardians and they adopt indecency and the devil's way of civilization, and thus become the enemy of God and their Nation of righteousness (Black Nation).

And therefore, t h e i r doom is that of the devil's (white man).

According to the report of the organizations, the "double standard" of Southern "justice" did not begin with these two killings.

Rather, Southern injustice is as old as the South itself, they indicated.

"IN MANY areas of the South, dual justice is a standing abuse to all Negroes — the maid, the undertaker, the field hand, the s c h o o l teacher, the minister," the report declared.

The study made it clear that this "double standard" confronts the Negro from birth to death.

"More than "any other standard," the report asserted, the double standard of Southern injustice is "responsible for what the white South views as increasing 'radicalism' and 'anarchy' in the civil-rights movement."

The Congress had a fundamental role to play in this since w i t h o u t deep studies of African languages, there could be no worthy w r i t i n g of the literatures contained in them, Boateng said.

Ghana is deeply concerned with the development of literacy and of education because on a percentage basis, Ghana's population is the most literate in Africa, Boateng explained. Ghana has built national unity by use of the English language and gained independence as an English-speaking nation, but literacy in a completely foreign language cannot be real mass literacy, the Minister of Education declared.

Ghana, for this reason, has set up a Bureau of Languages, to prepare literacy

materials and readers in selected Ghanaian languages, Boateng said. He u r g e d great care in the preparation of books which will be used by thousands of teachers and tens of thousands of students. " C L E A R L Y there is a great need for cooperation between the linguists and t h o s e directly concerned with the development of literacy and of education," Boateng said.

He added that linguists can help in showing the most efficient ways to write languages that had not yet been written, or well written, and plan teaching programs as well as instruct teachers.

African governments, in planning for literacy and for education, were faced with the necessity of making delicate and difficult choices.

Ghana believes in socialism, Boateng said, and is determined to afford her citizens their basic rights.

"Be on the Alert; Somewhere at This Very Minute They May be Integrating"

Black Leaders Rip So-Called KKK Probe; Call It 'Phony' WASHINGTON, D. C. — Negroes are unenthusiastic to the point of indifference over the House Un - American Activities Committee's investigation of the Ku Klux Klan, said spokesmen for two leading civil rights organizations.

James B. Williams, editor of "The Afro - American," said: " I honestly wonder whether the committee really wants to investigate the Klan or indulge in window-dressing?"

C L A R E N C E MITCHELL, Washington director of the N.A.A.C.P. and the R e v .

Walter Fauntroy, Washington director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, said they were unconvinced that the committee is sincere in purported efforts to expose the Klan.

This was the first indication of relief for Zambians, who have been anxious to reduce economic dependence on Rhodesia, South Africa and the so-called Portuguese territories in the hinterlands.

say t h a t the committee chairman, Rep. Edwin Willis (D.-La.) has been too nice to the Klan. They point out that no Negro victim of Klan violence has yet been called to testify.

Mr. Mitchell and the Rev. Fauntroy cited several reasons for the attitude of their organizations t o w a r d the K K K inquiry.

Leading the list, they said, was the record of the committee in past investigations.

"THE COMMITTEE has the geneiialgngButaticauof-being abusive ^ the area ..of Constitutiorfai "rights," said Mr. Mitchell.

The Rev. Fauntroy suggested that the committee "ought to be done a w a y with. It serves no useful purpose; it has been an instrument of intimidation and has tended to reflect negatively on the civil rights movement."

Inquiries disclose that persons who have figured in at least two civil rights murder cases have not been subpoenaed. The mother of the attorney for Collie LeRoy Wilkins Jr., 22-year-old Alabama Klansman acquitted in the slaying of Mr. Viola Liuzzo, said he had not been served notice to appear before the committee.

Little V a l u e in V i e t More and more Negroes throughout America are becoming disillusioned, if not completely outraged, over U.S. involvement in the war in Viet Nam. One apparent reason is that, although the press invariably reports that American casualties are "light" or "negligible" in Viet Nam battles, increasing numbers of Negroes are hearing from relatives, neighbors and friends that more and more black soldiers have been reported missing, wounded or killed in the seemingly endless war Another reason is t h a t South Viet Nam, even those burning questions about Viet the government still control, Nam remain unanswered. might want has never been Negroes along with white in- given a passing thought."

Oh What a Lesson 111 i

By Harriett Muhammad DEAR HARRIETT: • For several months I have been a faithful reader of MUHAMMAD SPEAKS because this newspaper gives so much information one would never find in any other United States newspaper, and also, because I am very much interested in the American I movement of Islam, which ' has done so much good for its members.

Reading the paper, however, many questions come to my mind which have, so far, remained unanswered because I have not had a chance to discuss them with a so-called "Black Muslim" — not knowing anyone. My Muslim friends are all from the Arab world, Africa and Pakistan, and they have the same questions as I : 1. How can Islam be only the religion for one group of people?

2. If it is for black people only, what about the millions of white Arabs who are all Muslims? Remember, t h e Arab world is the house of Islam.

3. Doesn't Islam t e a c h brotherhood among all people who believe in Allah, without specifying their skin color?

4. American Islam teaches that "intermarriage or race mixing should be prohibited." What about marriage between two Muslims of different skin color?

I would greatly appreciate your answering these questions for me.

—GERDA MENSAHSABAH, New York, N.Y. DEAR GERDA: I enjoyed reading your letter and I , in the best way I can, will attempt to answer your questions.

1. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad doesn't t e a c h that Islam can be only the religion for one group of people. He teaches that Islam is the religion for those who have a righteous nature.

2. When Mr. Muhammad refers to black people, he is not just referring to skin tones. It is the nature of a

n o w •

..

person that is important. He teaches us that all black people (including brown, red, yellow and cream peoples, those with blonde hair and light eyes) are born with righteous natures, whereas the white man has b e e n grafted out of the black man, thus making his nature weak and prone to evilness.

It is not the whiteness of the skin that is evil. This is only an identifying mark. An evil nature is found in the European white man and his descendants. We consider all "white" Arabs as members of the black nation, the original nation of the earth.

3. Islam does teach brotherhood among all peoples who truly believe in Allah.

Since this is beyond the capabilities of a race of devils, only those who are not devils qualify.

The main point here is whether or not you believe that Mr. Muhammad has been given a new message to the world, warning of the presence and workings of a race of devils. The choice is up to you to accept it or reject it. Time will surely tell which choice was correct.

4. Marriage between two righteous Muslims of different skin color is fine.

I don't profess to be a minister, but I hope my answers have helped you in your understanding of Islam, as taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

Something on your mind?

Write and tell me about it.

By Tynnetta Deanar To the vast majority of the American public, t h e Muslim woman appears as a strange and alien force in great contrast to the accepted American way of life.

For it has been assumed, and too rashly, that to be apart of their society was the great objective of t h e Black People in the Western Hemisphere.

This was thought of by the w h i t e s as the greatest achievement for which the Black politicians and educated classes of our kind were demonstrating through their fiery appeal for integration.

The white man, by setting up and legally endorsing the establishment of v a r i o u s high-priced and extravagant glamor spots in his cities which denied entrance to Black folks (American, Afro or Asian) has inflated his ego to have thought that we outsiders were envious of his seemingly superior position in society.

To those whites who know the eventuality of the rapid increase of so-called Negro women adopting the Muslim Way of Life, there is much to fear. For these apprehensive white observers realize that the woman represents a family and is inextricably interwoven into the entire field of activities conducted within the family circle and the e n t i r e society; it is feared that her influence will easily convert her people into accepting this new way of life in Islam. This is too much for the white man to take. For he envisions the rapid decline of his economy and a decrease in the prestige and influence he has experienced in every avenue of the Black man and woman's life.

himself.

Furthermore, he realizes that this power being generated throughout our entire population is not the sole result of a man named Elijah but by the force and power of a living God who taught Honorable Elijah Muhammad this poignant truth that is building up that which has been torn down and tearing down that which has been built up.

WHEN T H E white man and woman suddenly see the emergence of their ex-slaves and especially the woman who has been allowed more privileges and freedom to matriculate i n t o their society than the man, as Muslims, they are struck with awe and cannot help but to admire in humility and submit to the Power of the God

that is bringing this change about. Upon coming into contact with the Muslim woman, follower of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, they are unable to recognize t h e i r once ex-slave. They are actually confounded to learn that we are not from India, Pakistan, Egypt or the West Indies as they assumed but right from their old slave land of America.

TO CONCLUDE this brief study of the effects of the Muslim Woman in American Society, I say that for the white people, it is fear mixed with admiration and anguish mixed with a dying hope that perhaps in t h e flickering light that remains of their day to be in command, they may take a few black converts with them to their defeat.

Nursing School Frauds and U.S.-Made Paris Perfumes The frauds perpetrated against the gullible American buying public continue to reap huge profits before the Federal Trade Commission clamp down.

Ads Go All Out Telling Negro Youths "Things Are Better" WASHINGTON—Whether Negroes are better off or not, they'll soon be seeing advertising signs declaring that things were never better, if the program advocated by the American advertising industry and supported by Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey is successful.

SUGGESTED advertisements and commercials were sent to all newspapers, radio and TV stations with the theme: "Things are Changing."

"Things are changing," Humphrey said. "They are changing forever. Everybody is a first-class citizen now. There is no more of that get-in-the-back-of-thebus insult and foolishness."

HUMPHREY urged every American to "sell the idea (of equal opportunity)" in a spirit of patriotic devotion. Advertising messages, prepared by the Advertising Council, said: "Things are changing. There's one way to find out if equal opportunity applies to you. Apply yourself.

"Things are changing. Have you looked at the Help Wanted lately? Prejudice is going out of business."

S E V E R A L ROCK 'n' roll music groups have recorded "Things Are Changing," written by Phil Spector.

Examiners

WASHINGTON — Federal voting examiners are slated to serve in five additional Mississippi counties, bringing to nine the counties of that state where the examiners have been assigned. The additional counties are Benton, Boliver, Clay Coahoma and Humphreys.

Despite the provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which outlaws literacy tests, Miss. Atty. Gen. Joseph T. Patterson has brought a se-

Mississippi

ries of legal actions designed to prevent registrars from registering persons who do not meet state literacy requirements.

"IN VIEW of Atty. Gen. Patterson's action," Katzenbach remarked, "and in view of the fact that many Negro applicants are, therefore, being turned away, we believe it is essential that federal examiners be assigned to these counties."

Ads Go All Out Telling Negro Youths "Things Are Better" WASHINGTON—Whether Negroes are better off or not, they'll soon be seeing advertising signs declaring that things were never better, if the program advocated by the American advertising industry and supported by Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey is successful.

SUGGESTED advertisements and commercials were sent to ail newspapers, radio and TV stations with the theme: "Things are Changing."

"Things are changing," Humphrey said. "They are changing forever. Everybody is a first-class citizen now. There is no more of that get-in-the-back-of-thebus insult and foolishness."

HUMPHREY urged every American to "sell the idea (of equal opportunity)" in a spirit of patriotic devotion. Advertising messages, prepared by the Advertising Council, said: "Things are changing. There's one way to find out if equal opportunity applies to you. Apply yourself.

"Things are changing. Have you looked at the Help Wanted lately? Prejudice is going out of business."

S E V E R A L ROCK 'n' roll music groups have recorded "Things Are Changing," written by Phil Spector.

This is t h e question asked most frequently b y both t h ewhit / \ n d t h eblacks. T h e a n s w e r s t o t h i s quest:/ I shall state as s i m p l y as possible. ,1. W e w a n t f r e e d o m . W e w a n t a f u l l 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 the l a w . W e w a n t j u s ' e applied equally t o all, regardless of creed o r class 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 equal membership i n society with t h e best i n 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 w h o s e parents o r grandparents were descendants f r o m slaves, t o b e a l l o w e d t o establish a separate state o r t e r r i t o r y o f their o w n — e i t h e r o n this continent o r elsewhere. W e believe that our f o r m e r slave masters a r e obligated t o provide such land a n d that the area m u s t be fertile a n d m i n e r a l l y rich. W e believe that o u r former slave masters a r e obligated t o m a i n tain and supply our needs i n 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 able to produce a n d supply o u r o w n needs.

Since w e cannot get along with t h e m i n peace a n d equality, after giving t h e m 400 years of o u r sweat and blood and receiving i n return some of the worst treatment h u m a n beings have ever experienced, w e believe o u r contributions to this land a n d the suffering forced upon us b y white A m e r i c a , justifies o u r demand for complete separation i n a state o r territory of our own.

5. W e w 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 I s l a m n o w held i n federal prisons. W e w a n t freedom for a l lblack m e n and w o m e n n o w under death sentence i n innumerable prisons i n the N o r t h as well as the South.

We want every black m a n a n dw o m a n to have t h e freedom t o accept o r reject being separated f r o m the slave master's children and establish a land of their o w n .

We 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 to the problem between t w o people.

6. W e w a n t a n i m m e d i a t e e n d t o t h e p o lice b r u t a l i t y a n dm o b attacks against the socalled N e g r o throughout the U n i t e d States.

We believe that t h e Federal government should intercede to see that black m e n a n d w o m e n tried i n white courts receive justice i n accordance with the laws of the land—or allow us t o build a n e w nation f o rourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom a n d liberty.

7. A s l o n g 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 t e r r i t o r y o f o u r o w n , w e dem a n d not only equal justice under the laws of the U n i t e d States, b u t equal e m p l o y m e n t opportunities—NOW! W e d o n o t b e l i e v e 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 rich a n d powerful, that so m a n y thousands o f black people should h a v e t o subsist o n relief, c h a r i t y or l i v e i n poor houses.

8. W e w a n t t h e g o v e r n m e n t o f t h e U n i t e d States t o e x e m p t o u r people f r o m A L L taxation as long as w e a r e deprived o f equal justice under the l a w s of the 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 s c h o o l s u p t o 16 f o r b o y s a n d 18 f o r g i r l s o n "the c o n d i t i o n t h a t t h e g i r l s b e s e n t t o w o m e n ' s colleges a n d universities. W e w a n t a l l black children educated, taught and trained b y their own teachers.

Under such schooling system w e believe we w i l l m a k e a better n a t i o n o f people. T h e U n i t e d States government should provide,

free, a l l necessary text books a n d equipment, schools a n d college buildings. T h e M u s l i m teachers shall be left free t o teach a n d train their people i n t h e w a y o f righteousness, decency a n d self respect.

10. W e b e l i e v e 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 should be prohibited. W e w a n t t h e r e ligion o f I s l a m taught without hinderance o r suppression.

These a r esome o fthe things that we, the M u s l i m s , w a n t f o r o u r people i n N o r t h A m e r i ca.

What the Muslims Believe 1. W E B E L I E V E i n t h e O n e G o d W h o s e proper N a m e is Allah.

2. W E B E L I E V E i n t h e H o l y Q u r a n a n d in theScriptures o fa l l theProphets o f G o d .

3. W E B E L I E V E i n t h e t r u t h o f t h e B i b l e , but w e believe that i t h a s been t a m p e r e d w i t h and must be reinterpreted so that m a n k i n d will not be snared b y the falsehoods that have been added to i t .

4. W E B E L I E V E i n A l l a h ' s P r o p h e t s a n d the Scriptures they brought t othe people.

5. W E B E L I E V E i n t h e r e s u r r e c t i o n o f the dead—not i n physical resurrection—but i n m e n t a l resurrection. W e believe that t h e socalled Negroes a r e m o s t i n need o f m e n t a l resurrection; therefore, they will be resurrected first.

F u r t h e r m o r e , w e believe w e a r e t h e people o f God's choice, as i t h a s been w r i t t e n , that G o d w o u l d choose t h e rejected a n d t h e despised. W e c a n find n o other persons fitting this description i n these last days m o r e than t h e so-called Negroes i n A m e r i c a . W e believe i n the resurrection of the righteous.

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 as God revealed, i n A m e r i c a . . .

7. W E B E L I E V E t h i s i s t h e t i m e i n h i s tory f o r t h e separation o f t h e so-called N e groes a n d t h e so-called w h i t e A m e r i c a n s . W e believe the black m a n should be freed i n n a m e as w e l l as i n fact. B y this w e m e a n that h e should be freed f r o m the names imposed upon him b y his former slave masters. Names which identified h i m as being t h e slave master's slave. W e believe that i fw e a r e free i n deed, w e should go i no u r o w n people's n a m e s —the black peoples o f the earth.

8. W E B E L I E V E i n j u s t i c e f o r a l l , w h e t h er i n G o d o r n o t ; w e believe as others, that we a r e due equal justice as h u m a n beings. W e believe i n equality—as a nation—of equals.

We do not believe that w e a r e equal with o u r slave masters i n t h estatus o f "freed slaves."

We recognize a n d respect A m e r i c a n citizens as independent peoples a n d w e respect their laws which govern this nation.

9. W E B E L I E V E t h a t t h e o f f e r o f i n t e g r a tion is hypocritical a n d is m a d e b y those w h o are t r y i n g t o deceive the black peoples into believing that their 400-year-old open enemies of f r e e d o m , j u s t i c e a n d e q u a l i t y a r e , a l l o f a sudden, their " f r i e n d s . " F u r t h e r m o r e , w e believe that such deception is intended t o prevent black people f r o m realizing that the t i m e in history h a s a r r i v e d f o r the separation f r o m the whites of this nation.

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

Honorable Elijah Muhammad

gro, t h e y c a n p r o v e i t b y d i v i d i n g u p A m e r i c a w i t h their slaves.

We do not believe that A m e r i c a will ever be a b l e t o f u r n i s h e n o u g h j o b s f o r h e r o w n millions o funemployed, i n addition t o jobs for t h e 20,000,000 b l a c k p e o p l e a s w e l l .

10. WE B E L I E V E t h a t w e w h o d e c l a r e d ourselves t o be righteous M u s l i m s , should not participate i n wars which take the lives of h u mans. W e do n o t believe this nation should force us t o take part i n such wars, f o r w e have nothing t o gain f r o m i t unless A m e r i c a agrees t o give us t h e necessary territory wherein w e m a y have something to fight for.

11. W E B E L I E V E o u r w o m e n s h o u l d b e respected and protected as the w o m e n o f other nationalities are respected a n d protected.

12. WE B E L I E V E that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard 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 HIM there is no God and He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we all can live in peace together.
