Message to the Blackman#1459

Caption from poster__         Message To the Black Man            Written in 1965 by Elijah Muhammad,            the then Leader of the Nation of Islam Message To the Black man was the first book I had read that spoke of an all-Black theology and promoted unity now. In brief, Elijah Muhammad (formerly Elijah Poole) says he met a man whom convinced him that he was God in person.   That this man taught him for 3 years and from that teaching he builds the Nation of Islam, creates a Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan, Muhammad Ali and guides Alex Hailey to study his "Roots".  He establishes the first Black International Weekly Newspaper (In Color) "Muhammad Speaks", establishes a private K-12 Elementary School system via Mosques in every major city, nearly corners the market importing fish which he sells to Black people to replace pork, and buys thousands of acres of farmland from which he grows food that the Nation sold through its own grocery stores.   Muhammad was born Elijah Poole in Sande
