took time to let the people know him and for us to get to know him better he wanted us to know that the nation of islam is not coming here to try to convince all of you in the affairs of the black man and woman of america in the person of mass the farrar mohammed and for his raising up from among us this beautiful human being born right next door in the state of georgia and putting in that man on equal wisdom knowledge and guidance for suffering people and that wisdom knowledge and guidance that almighty god a lot gave to this black man would allow us to for the man who is in our midst i would never know the true and real value of the honorable elijah mohammed i would not kno the greatness and the magnificence of the law means that i was blessed to come into the world from if there was not a man that god ha that is after the heart of god but himself and because of that man's love for his father and for his teacher the name and the word of a lie jamaah harm it name out of history but one day a man came up and nineteen seven is seven and they did not have killing on the rise  one may i would have no purpose for my life and nothing to share with you today if it were not for that man the honorable minister l i thank the laws for this divine leader teacher guide and warner to the nations of the earth and it is in their names that i greet you with the greeting words  peace the honorable minister louis farrakhan though we all were expecting him and he had every in the people he is a true public servant and he believes that the people and the public should know of his condition so as he sits in the hospital watching us healing and mending and he is on a right or going in the right direction and if it be the will of the law either tomorrow or at the latest tuesday he should be al of the hospital become stronger as a nation and even wealthier but what did they come back to did their courage just bravery on the battlefield make the black idea yet we became weaker as a community what came to us after seeing the movie remember red tail that movie gave us pry a pride that we need so badly to know that we are a people of value and worth why did the minister bring us t peanuts from the land and developed over one hundred products just from the peanut that has allowed for wealth to be created in various industries just from his the scupper e of what god put in a peanut think about that a lot has guided us to be here this day at this time in this city for a very special reason and purpose the little pompous city of tarski has given us and a people  black people and the world so much in terms of black progress economic development and highlevel zz of civilization advanced by dr booker t washington we must repeat this is the principles that tusky university was founded upon and read visit ending grain those principles into our very being for our future is at stake booker t washington just a few years borne out from slavery this man is not fully appreciated by those who struggle to see our people free many of our young people don't know booker t washington they know my main but they don't know the vision and you know that dr washington was not just interested in agriculture and animal husbandry but he was interested in our grow into science and civilization the manners and behaviors of civilized people he recognized the need of people to be properly educated and reformed after total destruction through the institution of slavery he recognized that in order for us to gain our dignity and respect we had to be taught civilization how to self respect others and he taught even the women at tuskegee university he taught them how to stand how to walk how to sit he taught the woman how she should carry herself how she should act in the public and because of these principles the in the nation of islam and i chime in of men and women so when you see your brother and sister from the nation of islam and you admire and marvel the good manners and that is why i young people appear to be out here like rebels without a cause they become it is a crime of immeasurable dimension so how can our young people grow how can we grow if we don't know our history how can the tree out here in this square survive if it is cut from the roots it has no chance of surviving it has no chance of growing so the aim of the good in me has only in name when was the last time you as a parent open up the history books to social studies books that your children are being introduced to they glossed over they don't even mention anymore the hearo of the transatlantic slave trade they don't even talk about jim crow they don't even talk about the reconstruction period they tell our children nothing about these great men who sacrificed so they  ever to be respected and accepted by others we had to be civilized we had to be reform we had to be really ability and so we are here washington booker t washington instilled in his students a deep appreciation for the land the ballyhoo of the land and was a strong proponent of black self development he had his young students in architecture lay out the plans for tuskegee institute they took the clay land and made bricks and built the buildings open the restaurants they built t washington was showing us what we needed to lurk and what we need to learn today in order to secure a future for ourselves and how to even earn the respect point the boy got to grow up rather limit and become a man and you become a man when you take care of your self so if we want the respect of america the respect of white washington did and how he trained his students see and booker t study the children of israel making bricks from straw booker t washington said we tried several locations before we opened up a pit that furnished brick clay i had always suppose that brick making was very simple but i soon found out by bitter experience that it required special skill and knowledge particularly in the burning of the bricks the failure of this last kill left me without a single dollar with which to make another experiment most of the teachers advised the abandoning of the effort to make bricks so there's always somebody discouraging you to do what is of value and for you to realize and fulfill your dream or that your life given up certain that your love for something that has a much greater value or calling for your life how much are we willing to sacrifice for our freedom t check it out though brickmaking has now become such an important industry at the school that less season our students manufactured twelve young men have mastered the brick making tree both the making of bricks by hand am by machinery and now engaged in this industry in many parts of the south the making of these bricks taught me an important lesson in regard to the relations take a look at this listen the revelations of the two races in the south many white people who had no contact with the school and perhaps no sympathy with it came to us to buy br because they found out that ours were good bricks they discovered that we were supplying a real want in the community the but that in educating our student we were and in something to go well and the comfort of the community and as the people of the neighborhood came to us to buy bricks we got acquainted with them they traded with us and we with them our business interests became intermingled we had something which they wanted they had something which we wanted this in a large measure helped to lay the foundation for the pleasant relations that have continue to exist between us and the of unemployed and give jobs to black people as well here we are begging another people for that which we should be giving among our people throughout the world and so with so many of us out of work forty percent of our teenagers don't have a job fifty percent of our college graduates their brother and i meant to acknowledge and thank him our brother julio mohammed for the wonderful job that he did this weekend and bringing well over three hundred students from the various  when we send them to college and they get a degree that qualifies them for what propels them fall but if it's not preparing them to serve their paypal then it is an education that we don't need and we have to look at developing a new educational paradigm that will  so thirteen percent of the black population is unemployed but these numbers deceptive economists say that the unemployment rate is more like thirty percent so even though the national unemployment rate is inching downward a bit it's still high among our people see it's like this i like using this line papa may have mama may have but god bless the child who's got his own so marcus garvey said action self reliance vision of self and the future have been the only means by which the or press have realized and seen the light of their own free comics said whites can help us but they can't join us there can be don't black white unity until there is first some black unity respected them so malcolm x says we cannot think of uniting with others until we first unite with ourselves where he got that from his teacher elijah mohammed and until after we  first united among ourselves we cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to our selves see all of these leaders spoke the same language but they spoke it in a different delegatee a different track but they all were fall vien they all were on an evolutionary cause and they all share the common goal which was to see people united and see people free you know who farrakhan represents he represents all of these beautiful philosophy the idea of all of this men and women so that a people can go free now brothers and sisters as we bring this to a close
