Master Fard Muhammad |
American Africans have been revising racist Egyptology since at least David Walker. Walker wrote the following in his book David Walker's Appeal in Four Articles; Together with a Preamble, To the Coloured Citizens of the World, but in Particular, and Very Expressly, to Those of the United States of America:
the Egyptians, were Africans or coloured people, such as we are--some of them yellow and others dark--a mixture of Ethiopians and the natives of Egypt--about the same as you see the coloured people of the United States at the present day” (page 8)
Walker wrote in 1829, roughly one hundred years before Fard (pronounced fah-ROD) Muhammad came on the scene with Supreme Wisdom about the "Asiatic Blackman." Was there truth in the teachings of Master Fard Muhammad and his Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad? Emphatically, yes. The teachings of the Nation of Islam were absolutely vital to American African struggle. But it was neither the beginning nor the end of the Black Truth.
