Happy Independence Day....July 4th.......2011
This is a day that is not only celebrated by white Americans in their break with England, it also is a day that the children of American Slaves were declared an independent people. The stock market crash in 1929 was the gateway to economic misery that sparked the fuel of the "Great Depression" of the 1930s. Moreover, America's racial situation continued its downward spiral. Lynchings, race riots and other forms of terrorism against Blacks continued unabated. But Detroit, with its huge population of 1.5 million people including 250,000 thousand Blacks, was beginning to see changes in its social scene.
On July 4, 1930, the long awaited "Saviour" of the Black man and woman, Master W. Fard Muhammad, appeared in this city. He announced and preached that God is One, and it is now time for Blacks to return to the religion of their ancestors, Islam. News spread all over the city of Detroit of the preachings of this great man from the East. Elijah Poole's wife first learned of the Temple of Islam and wanted to attend to see what the commotion was all about, but instead, her husband advised her that he would go and see for himself. Master Fard Muhammad, God in Person gave us our own Flag of Independence, religion and knowledge to become a free nation. Almighty God Allah personified as Master Fard Muhammad proclaimed us free from having to worship the former slave masters religion and flag by giving us our own flag featuring the Sun, Moon and Star representing Freedom, Equality and Justice, respectively.
He prepared a guide for us to follow with directions for gaining some of this earth that we can call our own. In order that there would be no quabble once we have obtained our own land, He(God) gave us our own flag.
Though, we have not sealed the deal and obtained our own nation as yet......Now, 81 years later....Black America....Happy July 4th Holiday

Part of the plan was to clean us up and make us fit to rejoin our own. We still need the extra time, because most of us as we are today could still be destroyed right along with the devil.
