I want to bring everyone's attention to 1961 when the first Muhammad Speaks newspaper was published The Muslim Program . What the Muslims want. number 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 land 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 can not 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.
1961 Muhammad Speakes newspaper This is the first mention of the descendants of slaves for all you Jonny come lately trying to act like you started it. You can pull this up today in a blink of an eye better yet get a Final Call newspaper and read it for yourself It's still on the back page. "Viva" The name Honorable Elijah Muhammad
