T h e a n s w e r s to this q u e s t i o n I s h a l l s t a t e a s s i m p l y as p o s s i b l e . 1. We w a n t f r e e d o m . We w a n t a full a n d complete freedom. 2 . We 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 . We w a n t j u s t i c e a p p l i e d e q u a l l y to all, r e g a r d l e s s of c r e e d or c l a s s or c o l o r . 3. We w a n t e q u a l i t y of o p p o r t u n i t y . We w a n t e q u a l m e m b e r s h i p in s o c i e t y w i t h the best i n c i v i l i z e d s o c i e t y . 4 . Wre w a n t our people in A m e r i c a w h o s e p a r e n t s or g r a n d p a r e n t s w e r e d e s c e n d a n t s f r o m s l a v e s , to be a l l o w e d to e s t a b l i s h a s e p a r a t e s t a t e or t e r r i t o r y of t h e i r o w n — e i t h e r on this c o n t i n e n t or e l s e w h e r e . We b e l i e v e t h a t our f o r m e r s l a v e m a s t e r s a r e o b l i g a t e d to p r o v i d e s u c h l a n d a n d t h a t the a r e a m u s t be fertile a n d m i n e r a l l y r i c h . We b e l i e v e that our f o r m e r s l a v e m a s t e r s a r e obligated to m a i n tain a n d s u p p l y our n e e d s in this s e p a r a t e t e r r i t o r y for the n e x t 2 0 to 2 5 y e a r s — u n t i l we a r e a b l e to p r o d u c e a n d s u p p l y our own needs. Since w e cannot v e t 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 return some of t h eworst treatment h u m a n beings have ever experienced, w e believe our contributions to this land a n dt h e suffering forced upon u s b y white America, justifies our demand f o r complete separation i n a state o r territory o f 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 Islam now held i n federal prisons. W e want f r e e d o m f o r a l lblack m e n a n d w o m e n n o w under death sentence i ninnumerable prisons in the N o r t h a s w e l l a s the S o u t h . W e want every black m a n and w o m a n to h a v e t h ef r e e d o m t o a c c e p t o r reject being s e p a r a t e d f r o m t h es l a v e m a s t e r ' s c h i l d r e n and establish a land o f their own. We know t h a t the a b o v e p l a n for the s o l u tion of the b l a c k a n d w h i t e c o n f l i c t is the best a n d only a n s w e r to the p r o b l e m b e t w e e n two people.

6 W e want a n immediate end t o the 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 a g a i n s t t h e socalled N e g r o throughout the United States. W e believe that the F e d e r a l government should intercede t o see 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 t h e laws o f t h e land—or allow u sto build a new nation f o r ourselves, dedicated t o justice, freedom and 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 territory o f our own, w e demand not only equal justice under the laws of the United States, b u t equal employment opportunities—NOW! W e d o not believe t h a t after 400 y e a r s o f free o r n e a r l y free labor, sweat a n d blood, w h i c h h a sh e l p e d A m e r i c a b e c o m e r i c h a n d powerful, that so m a n y thousands o f black people should have t o subsist 09relief, char ity o r live i npoor houses. 8.

W e want a l l black children educated, taught a n dtrained by their o w n teachers. Under such schooling system w e believe we will m a k e a better nation o l people. 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 t e a c h e r s s h a l l b e left free t o l e a c h a n d t r a i n their people i n the w a y o f righteousness de rency and self respect. HI. W e belie-, that intermarriage o r race mixing should be prohibited. W e want the r e ligion of I s l a m taught without hinderance o r suppression. These a r e some of t h e things that w e , t h e M u s l i m s w a n t f o r o u rp e o p l e i n N o r t h America.
