Honorable Elijah Muhammad belts, jackets, c o a t s , and hats. The cotton could be weaved into cloth. Remember how America once had to spin their yarn to make their clothes by a spinning wheel? Today, if you have the money, you can buy machines which will weave and print thousands of yards of cotton goods per day. Do not say that you cannot do it. The white man is not preventing you from doing these things. He has many textile mills; he will help you, and even weave your c l o t h e s at his own mills for so much. We can c o b b l e our own shoes; the white man will sell us the machines. In fact, he will sell you almost anything to help you manufacture your own needs. However, you must first go to the farms, till the earth, and produce your own food. Build stores and warehouses to p r e s e r v e your f o o d throughout the seasons. We just, are not trying to do anything for self. As I have repeated until my throat is dry, one day America (the white man) will not be able to carry this entire nation of 22 million black people on her back.
Self preservation is the first law of n a t u r e . Everyone tries to provide a future for its own but the American socalled Negro. Turn your millions of dollars over to our National Three-Year Economic Savings Plan, and I will show you how you can do all of these things overnight and be a happy people right here in America. This will bring about peace between the two people because you will not have to fight, or beg the white man for that which you can get for yourself (if you were only united). You m o s t c e r t a i n l y should be tired of being beaten and killed.
I am appealing to you — each and every one of the 22 m i l l i o n black people of America — to send every penny, nickel, dime, dollar, hundreds of dollars, thousands of dollars, and millions of dollars that you can spare to this "Three-Year Economic Plan;" MUHAMMAD'S MOSQUE NO. 2 — 5333 South Greenwood Ave. —Chicago, Illinois 60615.

Cites 20-Year Association With Messenger of Allah By MINISTER ISAIAH K A R R I E M (Baltimore, Md.) The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the spiritual head of the fastest growing Muslim movement in the Western hemisphere, is truly indeed the Messenger of Allah of whom we, his followers, are very grateful. We pray to Allah: "Bless Muhammad, Thy message, the best of Thy creatures, the chosen one of Thy servants, the harbinger of mercy, the prosecutor of goodness, the key to blessings. He exerts himself for Thy purpose and exposes himself to pain for Thy sake, and faulted Thy enemy till his m i s s i o n was accomplished; and w h a t was planned for his friends was achieved. Thy commandments were established and Thy word was exalted.
JAMES PASHA, a senior member of the Notion of Islam.
Therefore, O' Allah, exalt him for his exertion to Thy cause to the highest rank in Thy paradise till his position may not be equalled by any angel or prophet.
Endow him with effective intersection for sacred members of his house and true believers." As a follower of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, a helper in this great cause of resurrecting this poor dead people of ours, and after hearing of the slander and lies of our Beloved Leader and Teacher by the Hypocrites and disbelievers, I would like to tell the world my experience with the Honorable Elijah Muhammad over the last 20 or more By JAMES PASHA years.

Some of these hypocrites accuse him of embezzlement, which is a lie and the one who told it doesn't believe it. On the contrary, Messenger Muhammad gives his followers far more than they give him, and this has been true ever since I have known him. And those two prostitutes who accused the Messenger of getting babies, should hang their heads in shame for the rest of their lives for putting out such lies on the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Here the Messenger has been ill for the last 2 or 3 years, sometimes too weak to get out of bed, and yet they accuse him. We all know that the hypocrites and the disbelievers are trying desperately to stop the progress of Messenger Muhammad. That no good Malcolm Little, who the Messenger of Allah took out of the garbage can and nursed as he would a baby until he didn't want for anything, was able to go any-
where he chose with expenses paid. After Messenger Muhammad took him and gave him wisdom, knowledge, understanding, a reputation in which everyone admired, the only thanks he gave the Messenger was lying, scandal, and trying to pull followers away from the Messenger to follow him to his own selfish end. We, the followers of Messenger Muhammad are with him and are very sick and tired of hearing hypocrites and disbelievers tell lies on our Beloved L e a d e r and Teacher when there is no cause for it. It should be ever so clear by now that after 33 years of the hypocrites and disbelievers trying to oppose the Messenger of Allah that their efforts have been to no avail. They should also know that Allah is with His Messenger, as it is written in the book of Isaiah, "that no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper and every tongue that rises up against thee in judgement thy shall condemn." So, again I thank Allah for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and I pray Allah that I will always be faithful to his cause.

In the Name of Almighty Allah, The Most Merciful Saviour; Our Deliverer. Master of the Day of Judgment. To Allah alone do I submit and seek refuge. MISUNDERSTANDING AND MISINTERPRETATION My dear, original Black people of North America and the world, there is much talk—both good and bad—going on these days about the ending of the world that we now live in (the world of the white man). The white race is losing their divine power to rule the world of the original man. It is very easy for us to see and Understand that throughout the world there is unrest among the original black people who are working at a boiling pitch trying to get to themselves and for themselves as never before; not even since the white race has been placed on the planet. Even more so than in the time of Muhammad of 1400 years ago (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). From the 7th century to ; the 11th century, we had a p r o p h e t coming after much smaller world than we Moses and like Moses to be have today; Islam had not the people of Muhammad of and did not c o n q u e r the 1400 years ago. This is very whole world — only Africa, wrong. It must be undertime Near East, and part of stood that these prophesies Europe as far as Vienna, are referring to God and a She did not conquer Italy, Messenger in the resurrecChina, Japan, and the Is- tion of the dead in. the last lands.

That prophecy of the Bible from Moses to Jesus must be f u 1 f i 11 e d. T h e r e is much taught against the divine work that is going on here in America by Orthodox Muslims and Black Christians of America.

Though .they do have the Holy Qur-an, many of them do not understand the meaning of it and some of them believe everything that is prophesied in the Bible and Holy Qur-an about a last Messenger or Prophet being or referring to Muhammad of 1400 years ago.

(We print here the text of a special memorandum issued by the H o nor able Elijah Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah to help clarify for all seekers of the truth, current misunderstandings and misinterpretations, both occasioned by ignorance or by hypocritical actions. We present it in the words of Mr. Muhammad: "In the Name of Almighty Allah, the Most Merciful Saviour; Our Deliverer. Master of the Day of Judgment. To Allah alone do I submit and seek refuge. bolic lamb is in the midst of four symbolic beasts. All of the scholars and scientists of the white race know this is not referring to Muhammad of 1400 years ago. The anger of the beast refers to a dragon against the Messenger who is referred to as a lamb or as a woman pregnant with child. This is one of the clearest prophecies of the. opposition against him in the last days and the type of people the revelator refused to give the credit of being h u m a n beings but beasts who desire to destroy the woman and her child. This only means the Messenger and his followers of Islam. All Messengers were attacked by disbelievers a n d governments of their time, according to the 19 Qur-an. As an example of what the last Messenger and his fol-
lowers would face, Pharoah openly confessed that he desired to slay Moses and did not believe that God (Allah) would be able to protect Moses from his evil plans. But the Holy Qur-an says that Allah made him an example, for in the last days, both Moses and the symbolic lamb are declared to be victorious. Revelations states that the lamb and his followers,' after escaping the evil plans of the beast, sang the song of Moses which was of the victory over Pharoah. Let us remember that the scholars and scientists have not understood the true interpretation of the Bible and Holy Qur-an concerning the last Messenger. They should meet and confer on this most important of all scriptures and come to the correct interpretation. Both of you Christians and
Orthodox Muslims are absolutely wrong to believe all of this prophecy refers to Jesus or Moses and a prophet like himself, ana to believe that the symbolic lamb in Revelations refers to Jesus or as the Orthodox Muslims believe that it refers to Muhammad of 1400 years ago. How gravely you must interpret your Bible and Holy Qur-an. This important understanding is causing a lot of divisions. Some of the w e l l - r e a d scholars among the Orthodox Muslims are grieved to hear from America that I call myself a Messenger of A l l a h , though not one of them has been able to do the work that I have done in resurrecting my people in Ameriea — they could not do it. It was not for them to do what I am doing (the resurrecting of the dead). Their own H o l y Qur-an teaches them that Allah teaches a Messenger from every people that he intends to warn or destroy. It tells them in plain words that an Arab and an Arabic Holy Qur-an could not be the instrument sent to the people who must be resurrected because they would have the excuse that they could not read Arabic and therefore exercise their 'disbelief by saying that this (Continued on page 14)

By Charles P. Howard, Sr. UN and Foreign Correspondent UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. —Though the question of Chinese representation in the United Nations has remained unresolved since it first was raised in 1943—and all moves to invite the representatives of the People's Republic of China "to participate in the work of the United Nations and all its organs" have been defeated—there now appears to be at least cautious speculation that a change in attitude might be spreading gradually, along with the tandem question of Africa's future position on the matter. The voting f r o m 1961 through 1963 has followed a pattern of 23 African countries voting against admission of the Chinese People's Republic, abstaining or being absent.

He brought the American Negro's image to their SS African cousins in a fashion never even attempted by other prominent personalities.

was an Arab and an Arab Qur-an. The Qur-an teaches that they must have the Qur-an in their own language and they must not have a foreigner, but someone from a m o n g themselves who could speak their language. He could not be one who could speak Arabic until Allah taught him A r a b i c . Therefore the Messenger is not an Arab or an Arabic speaker in the resurrection of the dead; not the people who must be resurrected, according to the Qur-an. But later, Allah taught him Arabic and then He said in His Qur-an that now I give to thee a Holy Qur-an in the language of the p e o p l e (whom he is among who did not speak Arabic) and now I give thee an Arabic H o l y
This means that he received two books. One in a foreign language to Arabic's and another in the original language. Both, called Holy Qur-an. T h e r e must be something that is w r o n g about the Mother city which all the scholars agree is Mecca. Those are the last days, not in the days of Moses — only his work of correcting the i l l s of the Arabs in Mecca w h e r e he was born. This was an example of what was to come or what will come. He, nor Jesus, referred to the old truth which was given to either one, through the Holy Qur-an is without a doubt, a true book, but it only takes us up to the resurrection of the dead and not beyond. It does not give you a real knowledge of the Devil because
lah as the Bible refers to the coming of Allah. The Holy Qur-an refers to the days of Allah, meaning, in the years of the resurrection and it often repeats that the people will meet w i t h Allah in person not in visions. He will return to them or give them a knowledge of what they have done of good or evil. This knowledge is actually spoken in words. It is spiritual k n o w l e d g e . For the Holy Qur-an says that on that day, their sight will be sharpened, for Allah will not destroy a people until they are brought face to face with what they are. He will not allow the good ones to enter into everlasting goodness without them knowing of their good. It says that on that day, Allah will give every man a book m read his own
of the dead — especially the so-called American Negro. They will actually receive these accounts literally because they are a people who must be separated and these books will verify their actual worth. Of course, they will have a knowledge of the chastisement of the wicked and disbelievers rejections of the truth and the righteous will have a knowledge of their right by being sepa r a t e d by Allah from the evil doers and hypocrites. The jealousy of the last Messenger is written of and mentioned throughout t h e Qur-an and Bible. All prophets had people among them who were hypocrites who were jealous of them a n d wanted their places. But they were not fit or chosen by Allah for that high l a c e , as they probably
punishment or persecution of the wicked. There are religious scientists in Islam who know these things to be true that I am saying a n d there are those who do not understand their Holy Quran and prophecy of a Muhammad being last among the dead for the B i b l e teaches that God will use him to make Himself known in the last days. The people will probably fall for everything evil. As the Messenger of Allah, there is a hypocrite who has appeared among my followers here — a man I used to call M a l c o l m Shabazz. I gave him the name Shabazz to keep from calling him a slave name—he being a minister. This man has m a d e one of the most open and c l e a r fulfillments of the prophecy. Examples of this type are

LOS ANGELES—Three basic reasons why some women cannot say "no" have been pinpointed by a Negro social scientist making a study of promiscuity in women and reported in a national medical journal. In his "A Clinical Appraisal of Some Sexually Promiscuous Females," w h i c h appeared in the Journal of the National Medical Association, Dr. Marcus W. McBroom, noted that research through half a century had learned that so-called "easy women" are driven by "insecurity, desperate loneliness, or the wish to dominate." Dr. McBroom pointed out that "by 'easy women' we need, Dr. Horney points out, prowess and charm," adddo not m e a n prostitutes. often takes the form of a ing: Many members of the 'oldest sexual infatuation or an in"Actually, there is nothing profession' are driven to it satiable hunger for sexual to brag about, because t by poverty, a large number gratification," Dr. McBroom is seldom anything personaL are feeble minded and al- related. in the 'easy' woman's choice. most all are f r i g i d , " he In citing cases studied by "What we think of s: an wrote. psychologists, he told t h e eager, passionate haf=. to 'We are talking about the story of a young and beauti- enjoy our unique charms is large number of women in ful "easy woman" who made with the great majoriij f the American communities an excellent salary, but used s u c h conquests the today who simply do not say "sexuality to deaden h e r compulsive behavior a "no."

M a r k e t of the Midwest
The dynamic economic program of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah, moved ahead here in the midwest with the completed expansion and remodeling of the popular Shabazz Grocery, 614 E . 71st Street — the region's most o u t s t a n d i n g independent market. As Shabazz Grocery presented its modernistic n e w front to shoppers, followers and non-followers, its management spurred the opening with Saturday awards of a basket of free groceries to a lucky patron. In line with the objectives of the Messenger to "build and improve the black community," t h e new supermarket is one of the m o s t attractive establishments in the area. Shabazz has not only redesigned its interior, it's M u s l i m management has also devised ways to bring to patrons a broad assortment of fresh foodstuffs of the highest quality and at the lowest cost of any markets in the community. The newly-opened grocery has installed a modern frozen food department with a larger walk-in refrigerator to maintain huge quantities of fresh meat and d a i r y products. T h e community acceptance and support of Shabazz has enabled the grocery to maintain its performance of charitable work in the Negro community. It was the Shabazz Grocery which mailed a truckload of canned foods and clothes to hard-pressed N e g r o families i n Mississippi during the 1963 ecoBUY AND SELL WITH SHABAZZ REALTY 400 West 145th Street New York 3 1 , N.Y.

WINNER, Mrs. Virginia Crosby, appears speechless over her award, a basket of groceries from the management of the newly remodeled Shabazz Super Market. A mother of three teenage girls and a son, the lucky customer vowed to connomic boycott of Negroes by white o f f i c i a l s who had dropped them from relief rolls because of their attempts to register and vote. Although the new Shabazz Grocery is the largest a n d best-equipped, it marks a steady development and improvement of retail outlets under the direction of T h e Honorable Elijah Muhammad with even more far reaching plans under consideration.

the k n o w l e d g e of the prophecy of how the Negro w o u l d be liberated from America. He made a fool out of himself. This is a divine problem. God Himself will liberate the Negro. Africa is trying to liberate h e r s e l f from the same enemy. These prophecies concerning the Resurrection and f r e e d o m of the so-called American Negro cannot be cast aside as false. Especially today, for you can see the fulfillment. The so-called Negro must, be delivered by God and God only. He will use a Messenger who is symbolically referred to as the Lamb of God in the Resurrection who spiritually liberates the American Negro. They must be taught a thorough knowledge of their people and of the Devil. They must be Muslims to be liberated. They must have the Name of God which means one of tlje 99 n a m e s that comprises the Name of God. These names are now being given. This f o o l i s h hypocrite, Malcolm, does not know the scriptures or prophecies but he desires to be recognized by the people as a great leader without any follow-

ers, or, like one white man put it—he is a general without an army. There are many Africans and Egyptians who are now giving me credit for what I have said. They are actually surprised when they come into the knowledge of Allah's work in America and of me, His chosen Messenger—sent to my p e o p l e here in America. I heard that a newspaper — The Egyptian Gazette — had a full page article about Malcolm and his charges against me. I warn the entire world that is not reluctant to oppose me and s p e a k evil against me—that they might be playing with fire and a very hot fire at that. If you don't like My God and Myself, here in America, just leave us alone. It is very easy not to bother that which you do not like. Malcolm will never be successful, nor, will any of those who follow or befriend him. Allah has said this. I will accomplish the mission Allah has given to me— to raise my people here in America, b o t h spiritually and physically above the nations of the earth — if it pleases Him. AS-SALAAM-ALAIKTJM FBI R e p o r t s The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported in 1963 that there w e r e 2,577,269 white persons arrested in the major U.S. cities and 1,125,505 Negroes arrested for similar crimes. The arrests of Negroes, whites, Indians, Chinese and Japanese totaled 3,815,994.
By HARRIETT MUHAMMAD DEAR H A R R I E T T : My problem is, I can't seem to control my eating habits. I have tried just about everything, but almost everything I see that I want goes into my mouth. I always seem to be hungry since I had my last baby, and I can't stop eating. I have been on fasts, but that doesn't seem to help. I weigh ten pounds more than I want to weigh. Will you please give me some advice that will help me? HUNGRY, Oakland, California DEAR HUNGRY: There is no royal road to the optimal weight. Nor are there any quick miracles— like pills, drugs, electric belts or other exercise machines—that can take off and keep off unwanted pounds. Even with the best of medical advice your PERSISTE N T cooperation is necessary. Since you have will-power enough to take fasts, you should try and d e v e l o p enough self-control to sustain by first having the proper mental attitude. You say you weigh ten pounds more than you WANT to weigh—have you considered your body frame? Consult with a physician as to whether or not your ten pounds is in excess. Your best weight may be as much as 10% under or 20% over the calculated standard for your height and age. In terms of your body frame, you may be the NORMAL you. The best way to keep from becoming overweight is to eat S E N S I B L Y , exercise reasonably and live happily. DEAR H A R R I E T T : I've b e e n married for about two months. My husband and I didn't know each other long, and while we were c o u r t i n g we were never intimate because it is against our religious convictions. I find now, that dur-
ing the usual course of the day, he repulses any affection that I display toward him. If I hug him or give him a kiss he tells me to get away and stop trying to trick him into doing something for me. Harriett, I love my husband and sincerely mean him no harm. Is it wrong for a wife to show affection during the course of a day? HURT DEAR HURT: No, it is your duty as a wife and w o m a n to be tender, warm and affectionate to your husband — all the time. However, since you may not know much about your husband's past, you should try and find out why he has this attitude. Bare in mind also, the condition of all black men in America — they have been and still are victims of deceit from all around them. You, as a black woman, are part of a system which underminds and dominates black manhood. Now that black men are standing up and taking back their place as head of the
house, they are overly sensitive to any "attacks" that come their way. Although you may be completely innocent of any deceit, be understanding enough to know the position he is in and the pressure he's been under since birth. In a few more months, when he gets to know your character better, he'll feel more relaxed and secure with you. Also, be sure that you are pleasing to be near, dear. Check y o u r s e l f and stay smelling sweet. You wouldn't want to find out later that your husband was only pretending to be wary of your motives, while he was weary of your odors. Something on your mind? Write and tell me about it. Harriett Muhammad 2405 West 18th Street Suite 102 Los Angeles, Calif. 90019 SISTER'S RESTAURANT HOME COOKED MEALS Specializing in Beef Sausage 5 W.

A new ulcer "treatment" product has been seized on the charge that it is a New Drug and was not approved for safety and effectiveness before marketing. The product is "Quell Modified Sippy Dietary," distributed by Mead Johnson Laboratories, a Division of Mead Johnson & Company, Evansville, Ind. U. S. Marshals seized over 29 cases of Quell May 26, 1964, in possession of a dealer in Cincinnati, Ohio. Labels on cans of the product read in part: "Use Quell liquid as directed by your physician. The nutritional qualities of Quell liquid make it especially suitable for use in the dietary management and control of peptic ulcer and related symptoms. Quell liquid contains generous quantities of all essential nutrients. It provides significant amounts of protein and polyunsaturated fatty acids, and ample acid-buffering capacity . . . "
Recipe To Remember
Papers filed in the Federal District Court at Cincinnati charged that Quell is a New Drug marketed without an approved New Drug Application as required by the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act; that its labeling fails to bear adequate directions for use, and it is not possible to write such directions for the diagnosis and treatment of ulcers by the layman.—June, 1964. *

Drug ingredients, received in interstate commerce, are not changed into something new and different when combined into tablet form, and are still subject to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. This was the opinion of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld a 1961 decision of the U. S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, condemning Korleen tablets, distributed by Detroit Vital Foods, Inc., as misbranded with false and misleading representations that the drugs were an adequate and effective treatment for hardening of the arteries, defatting of the liver, coronary attacks, cirrhosis of the liver, varicose veins, sore throat, arthritis and others. The court stated that Korleen labeling emphasized each ingredient and that the tableted ingredients were merely packaged together. The principal point of appeal had been that the tablets, promoted hi lectures by Leland Kordel, president of Detroit Vital Foods, had been distributed only in Michigan, not in interstate commerce, and were, therefore, not subject to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.—July, 1964.

Negroes still go to segregated schools. At one time Negroes held all of the more than 2,000 jobs at the huge Veterans Hospital in Tuskegee. Indeed, it was the economic backbone of the Negro community. Then the local white Congressman hit upon a diabolical scheme to bring more whites into the county and to embarrass the Kennedy Administration's effort to bring
about some form of integration. Congressman Andrews began campaigning for "integration" at the hospital. As a result, Negroes lost 40 per cent of the jobs at the hospital — jobs that paid as high as $10 and $12,000 per year. This has played economic havoc with the Negroes of Tuskegee.

' R e s p e c t a b l e '•*\U/OI' By Carl ( X ) McGuire (Special to Muhammad Speaks) ATLANTA, Ga.—The only Negro State Senator in the
Deep South, Leroy Johnson, viewed the candidacy of his white "neighbor," C a l v i n Craig, as an open bid of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan to gain "respectable power" in Georgia. Johnson believes that the Klan membership has suffered a sharp decline in his state. In an exclusive interview with MUHAMMAD SPEAKS, Johnson gave his capsule opinion on the political, economic and civil rights struggle of the Negro in America: On the future of America, he said; " I believe that through our own efforts to obtain freedom for all Americans, we are saving America from herself." On the civil rights bill: "It has been my earnest hope that it would have been enforced much more vigorously in some areas of the Deep South than it is now . . . If, for any reason, each community steadfastly refused to enforce the new law . . . it would be the duty of the U.S. Justice Department and any other federal agency to enforce this bill."

On recent so-called Negro r i o t s in Northern cities, Johnson commented: "Wherever you find hopelessness, wherever you find despair, you will also find an explosive situation w h i c h could and probably will develop into the type of rioting we saw in Harlem and other sections of the country. "Then you have the dilemma of the Negro in the North realizing, because of the struggle of the Negro in the South, that they are not really free, either." On *

election to the presidency of the United States; "Goldwater's e l e c t i o n would create an atmosphere in the White House, which would have a tendency to show less and less interest in the Negro's struggle for freedom. "My experience shows that when there exists an atmosphere that is bad at the top level, those persons in government at the lower levels tend to feel that they have a license to do wrong." On the K K K : " I suspect that their membership is getting smaller every year. I say this because southerners are more enlightened today. The John Birch Society is not the face of America, nor is the White Citizen's Councils." On Atlanta, Georgia, itself, he stated: "Generally, I would say that the economic picture is good throughout the state, and particularly in Atlanta. But I don't think that Negroes are adequately and actively participating in the economic mainstreams of our cities, and this worries me. "Researchers have found that little more than 50 per cent of the able-bodied work force in the state of Georgia, who are Negro, earn less than a dollar an hour." On racial conflicts throughout the country: "The power structure in each community that contains a sizable black population should look responsibility squarely in the eye and make earnest attempts to improve the housing situation. Labor unions should open their doors to Negroes for better job opportunities. Urban h e a l t h conditions should be improved and ghettoes gotten rid of."

GOLDWATER OR NO Goldwater, the mounting pressure against racial injustice continues to grow with relentless determination particularly among youths who refuse to give into old status of Jim Crow. These youths, members of SNCC and CORE, were found in the quiet of a Chicago • midnight, conducting a 24-hour-per-day vigil on the steps of the U.S. Courthouse to highlight the lynch-murder of three civil right's workers in Mississippi.

Presents
The Muslim Program What the Muslims Want This is the question asked most frequently by both the whites and the blacks. The answers to this question I shall state as simply as possible. 1. We want freedom. We want a full and complete freedom. 2. We want justice. Equal 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 we cannot get along with them in peace and equality, after giving them 400 years 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 America, justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or territory of our own. 5. We want freedom for all Believers of Islam 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 police brutality and mob attacks against the socalled Negro throughout the United States. We believe that the Federal 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 opportunities—NOW! We do not believe that after 400 years of free or nearly free labor, sweat and blood, which has helped America 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 ALL taxation 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 all 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 Islam taught without hinderance or suppression. These are some of the things that we, the Muslims, want for our people in North America.

What the Muslims Believe
|
1. WE B E L I E V E in the One God Whose proper Name is Allah. 2. WE B E L I E V E in the Holy Quran and in the Scriptures of all the Prophets of God. 3. WE 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. WE B E L I E V E in Allah's Prophets and the Scriptures they brought to the people. 5. WE B E L I E V E in the resurrection of the dead—not in physical resurrection—but in mental resurrection. We believe that the socalled Negroes are most in need of mental resurrection; therefore, they will be resurrected first. Furthermore, we believe we are the people of God's choice, as it has been written, that God would choose the rejected and the despised. We can find no other persons fitting this description in these -last days more than the so-called Negroes in America. We believe in the resurrection of the righteous. 6. WE B E L I E V E in the judgement; we believe this first judgement will take place as God revealed, in America . . . 7. WE B E L I E V E this is the time in history for the separation of the so-called Negroes and the so-called white Americans. We believe the black man should be freed in name as well as in fact. By this we mean that he should be freed from the names imposed upon him by his 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 people's names —the black peoples of the earth. 8. WE 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. WE 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. If the white people are truthful about their professed friendship toward the so-called Ne-
Honorable Elijah Muhammad gro, they can prove it by dividing up America 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. WE 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.
