Wallace Fard Muhammad
Feb 26, 1877
Wallace D. Fard aka Wallace Fard Muhammad /f ə . ˈ r ɑː d/ (born February 26, 1877[2]) was a co-founder of the Nation of Islam. He arrived in Detroit in 1930 with an obscure background and several aliases, and taught a distinctive form of Islam to members of the citys African-American population. He was also known as being a seller of silk, incense, and perfume and was described as a white Arab man, but remembered as being a light-skinned black man by leaders of the Nation of Islam. Fard was last seen in 1933 by Elijah Muhammad, when Fard took off in an airplane from the Detroit airport.[3]
In 1938, an article by sociologist Erdmann Doane Beynon was published in the American Journal of Sociology, giving Beynons first-hand account of several interviews that he conducted with followers of Fard in Michigan.
