Page "Wallace Fard Muhammad" Paragraph 16

Fard claimed that Armageddon was imminent.

He maintained that black people in the United States had a duty to discover their origins and purpose.

Out of all the nations of the Earth, diasporic Africans, particularly those in " the wilderness of North America ," were the only nation without any knowledge of their history, no control of their present lives, and without any guidance for their future.

Black people had been systematically denied knowledge of their true history by their white oppressors.

Fard also claimed that Christianity was a religion of the slave owners that had been forced on enslaved or subordinated black peoples.
