MUHAMMAD SPEAKS, Chicago, Illinois, March 17, 1967 This newspaper was one of the most widely-read ever produced by an African American organization. Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad began the publication on May 1960 as a weekly publication. It was distributed nationwide by the Nation Of Islam and covered current events around the world as well as relevant news in African American communities, especially items concerning the Nation of Islam.
The bold banner headline: "THE POWER OF ISLAM UNITES THE BLACKMAN!" Among the articles within: "Muhammad: The Doom of America Approaches..." "On the Immorality of Sending Negroes to Viet War" and so much more.
A box within the masthead has: "Dedicated to Freedom, Justice and Equality for the so-called Negro. The Earth Belongs to Allah."
Among an abundance of articles is a photo of John Conyers on page 2, and and article with a photo re: Muhammad Ali on page 9, which includes Jackie Robinson's thoughts on Ali.
Complete in 28 pages, tabloid size, minimal margin wear, generally good.
