P r a i s e Editor's Note: Muhammad Speaks has been besieged with requests for the printed texts of the Messenger's life-giving 1 9 6 7 Savior's Day Convention speech. In compliance with these requests, we shall on the center spread of this and succeeding issues continue excerpts from the Messenger's address until the. entire speech has been presented. W H O I S h e that comes to save us? I s i tJesus o u t of Palestine? N o . Is h e going tobe resurrected t o come back a n d save u s ? N o . There i s n o long-time dead prophet w h o will be resurrected. There i s no such thing a s people c o m ing back, after a long time, f r o m death. If y o u say "mentally dead," I a mwith you. There is n o s u c h t h i n g a s m e n rising u p o u t o f graves after physical death. I t matters not h o w good a prophet h e was, when physical death gets hold o f h i m , that settles it. T h e w h i t e theologian knows this truth. T h e priest knows it. The Pope of R o m e knows it.

The African worker may not join a union, nor is it legal for him to refuse to work if a dispute arises between him and his employer. The African cannot enjoy any of the amenities his laDoi ua^ Lu.;ca i o create xor + l ~ whites in the territory.

DAR-ES-SALAAM — The Tanzanian paper Nationalist has urged African countries to frustrate colonialist attempts to undermine the African Liberation Committee of the Organization of African Unity and the African liberation cause. IN AN EDITORIAL, the Nationalist stated "for quite a long time, the colonialists have been trying to weaken the committee from within. In order to continue their domination of Africa, they have been trying to have their own men in the committee so that instead of being a committee for action it becomes a talking shop for auctioning the African revolution." Continuing, the editorial said "Tanzania's position remains unchanged. We shall continue helping our unfortunate brothers still under colonial domination. We shall help them fight for political freedom and dignity." Noting that the a r m e d struggles for liberation in Mozambique, A n g o l a and Portuguese Guinea h a v e been "developing rapidly," the editorial added that "in Rhodesia, South Africa and any moral considerations of African freedom up to now. Now, despite many fancy diplomatic maneuvers, U.S. representatives must move closer to a public disrobing and stand naked,.before the black world as a talker of "freedom" and a financier of slavery." The only escape hatch is a clean break with South African racism, including slavery that produces golden profits.

South West Africa there are reports of shootings . and bombings conducted by the nationalist forces." TRUE AFRICANS m u s t a n s w e r the nationalists needs for support in their revolutions, the paper advised. "To betray the cause of African liberation is to betray the cause of African independence," it reasoned.

Black C o l l e g e s Will Continue ST. LOUIS, Mo.—The predominantly black college in the United States will never become extinct—at least, not in the foreseeable future. THIS IS the opinion of the president of . a predominantly Negro college, Dr. Jerome H. Holland of Hampton Institute in Virginia, who was speaking in suburban Clayton at a St. Louis c l u b luncheon. Mr. Holland, a sociologist and f o r m e r All - American football player at Cornell University, said t h a t more than half of the 225,000 Negroes in college today attend institutions that will remain predominantly black for the foreseeable future. He said the immediate goal of Hampton, which is conducting an $18,000,000 fund drive, is to provide the best possible environment for teachers and students. He noted that this requires a massive investment in faculty salaries, scholarships, building and academic programs.

T h e Messenger of Allah Presents

Wot I

jHusiltm P r o g r a m Saiiat the jWitflimS ifflant

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 justkJ. 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 Unfted States government should provide, free, aii viecessary text books and equipment, scbo&ls and college buildings. The Muslim teachers shall be left free to teach arid train their people in the way of righteousness, deceqpy 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.

Htjat tfje Jfflturttms Peitebe 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 Qur-an 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.

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 Ne4. WE B E L I E V E in Allah's Prophets and groes and the so-called white Americans. We the Scriptures they brought to the people. believe the black man should be freed in name as well as in fact. By this we mean that 5. WE B E L I E V E in the resurrection of he should be freed from the names imposed the dead—not in physical resurrection—but in upon him by h i s former slave masters. mental resurrection. We believe that the so Names which identified him as being the called Negroes are most in need of mental slave master's slave. We believe that if we resurrection; therefore, they will be resur are free indeed, we should go in our own people's names—the black peoples of the earth. rected first.

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 socalled Negro, 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. We do not believe this nation should force us to take part in such wars, for we have nothing to gain from it unless America agrees to give us the necessary territory wherein we may have something to fight for. 11. WE B E L I E V E our women should be respected and protected as the women of other nationalities are respected and protected. 12. WE B E L I E V E that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master VV. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited "Messiah" of the Christians and the "Mahdi" of the Muslims. We believe further and lastly that Allah is God and besides HIM there is no God and He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we all can live in peace together.
