trail around the globe black man and woman of america and the western hemisphere and the aboriginal people of the eternal leader of the nation of islam and  try to get some much needed rest which i never got because my mind was preoccupied with where we wanted to take this broadcast for the next twenty five or thirty weeks my mind was also preoccupied with the completion of my ramadan fast and family and national problems so in truth i never really got the rest that i thought i would get however i am grateful for some of that quiet time that allowed me to receive some powerful thoughts through my study that our law and his messiah gave to me for future broadcasts to you i'm every day to put in that bottle or ball a nickel from each member of your family and during the eighteenth anniversary of the million man march to that we will begin to start the process of economic development not for a group but economic development for a whole nation of people now some of you have stated your worries as i received in some tweets and e mails about persons stealing your monies this is so serious with us that anyone that is in a fiduciary responsibility will have to sign a form that will give us the right to take their lives should they be guilty of stealing the people's money i will pledge my life first then anyone who will come on board to help they will have to pledge their lives and we have those among us that will honor that pledge for you if you try and rob our people then there must be a penalty for this because too many lives and thieves have been among us and to attempt to rob ah people of their future is worthy of death  honored to be back and i thank the twitter force for their great work again i thank the ministers and followers who are engaging the public in a beautiful man truth and then join one another to patients the honorable when black people in america only numbered twenty two million that we had become a nation with in a nation but a nation completely dependent on our former slave masters and their children to provide us with jobs education and sustenance fifty years ago when the historic march on washington took place the cry at that time was for jobs and justice the honorable then that america as a nation would not be able to furnish enough jobs for her own millions of unemployed and then furnish jobs for us and our population which was continually increasing fifty years later we are now at nearly fifty million black people in completely dependant condition at a time when the economy of america and the world is in less steady decline so those millions of of white america are very real and millions of unemployed black and brown in america are also very real so the question that we must ask ourselves and try to answer intelligently is what is the best way forward for us is it to m again and beg for jobs and justice when the government can no longer provide this for themselves much less us or should we follow the wisdom that was in a letter from the honorable elijah mohammed to martin luther king jr c c to the civil rights leaders at that time dated july sixth nineteen sixty six let's look at what the honorable elijah muhammad wrote talking to dr king muhammad's words he said this we have reached a crucial crossroad in the life of our people here in america love our people are well king toward one goal freedom justice and equality from a common enemy let us realize that they strain let us come together in a meeting to discuss the future planes and programs needed to achieve these goals for our people if we have any love and respect for each other level us be intelligent about the matter and present to america and  us to prevent our achievement of a united front of black americans the meeting nor the place need not be public please being shown our people probably have just finished meeting on the mall to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the march on washington i know that we shall have heard many good words although i was not invited i must say that i am happy to see that so many conven to listen to the various speakers and specially the words of the president of the united states of america this however demonstrates a condition that needs to be rectified when someone else has to finance our ideas of paying tribute to dr king and the group civil rights movement own gatherings and march is so that somebody else can tell us who we can have been who we can't when our condition is such that we need all hands on deck to solve the critical problems that we as a people face so my appeal to my brother is reverend sharpton of the national action  washington my appeal to you today is flag united front for leaders and organizations to meet to pla so can we meet after such demonstrations at a place that does not necessarily have to be mentioned or known will you accept an invitation from brother farrakhan to me so that we can sit and strategize as a people who love our people and want to see us in a better state than we are presently hundred sixty seven dr king presented to talk to the leaders and members of s c l see and that talk was titled the crisis in america's cities an analysis of social disorder and a plan of action against poverty discrimination and racism in urban america this address was made august fifteenth  seven in atlanta georgia four years after the famous i have a dream speech on the washington mall let us listen to his words and reflect that dr king said a million words will be written and spoken to dissect the ghetto darkness sins will be committed the guilty one is not he who commits the sin but he who causes the darkness society when we ask negroes to abide by the law let us also declare that the white man does not abide by law in the ghetto regulations his police mill come mockery of the law he violates laws on equal employment and education and the provisions for civil service the slums of the handiwork of a vicious system of the white society negroes live in them but do not make them any more than a makes prison dr king went on to say let us say it boldly that if the total slum violations of law the white man he went on to say the second major cause of the crisis in the inner cities is unemployment because it furnishes the shock troops government figures reveal that the rate of unemployment for me grows runs as high as fifteen percent and some cities and for up to thirty and forty percent it is not accidental that the major actors in the outbreak were the use with their lives yet to live the slamming of doors in their faces could be expected to induce rage and rebellion this is  my dear president obama and black people in fifty years has anything really changed dr king went on to say the third cause of what is going on in the in the city is discrimination which pervades all experiences of negro or black life it few negroes who realize economic security do not attain respect and dignity because on upper levels discrimination to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as true in the society dharma needing them and the fourth cause dr king went on to say of the condition of the in cities is the war in vietnam he said intervention democracy at disrespect degenerate into contempt and cynicism in testifying before the senate last december dr king's the bombs in vietnam explode at home the security we profess to see in foreign adventures we will lose in our decaying cities and what is the respect level of government today the respect level of the government of the united states has gone down the congress to fourteen percent the president to thirty five to forty percent the supreme court less than that this is the dr king that was statue on the mall follows them in stone like lincoln and jefferson and washington but the words of lincoln in history for the american people to feed on thomas jefferson and george washington are also in the books for the american people to feed gone but the american people are feeding on a dream pursue a jobs bill remember the words of the honorable elijah muhammad america cannot create enough jobs for her own white unemployment the president proposed jobs bill was only to create approximately three million jobs but there are over twenty million americans now that have no jobs or minimal jobs so how will that jobs bill help us when we last tired and first fi we have to think beyond the government of course government has a responsibility but we have to come up with the play and in own suffering and help on selves then see government's help elijah muhammad said we cannot build the future for our people with out the requirement of land why are we going to tuskegee to celebrate the eighteenth anniversary of the million man march what did our brother dr booker t washington say about economic development in his the history of civilization throughout the world shows that without economic and commercial success there can be no lasting or commanding success in other fields and stability he went on to say in that same message landless race is like a ship without a r that the terrible condition of black people numbering nearly fifty million with no land from which to build an economic future for ourselves look at this pattern today all of these organizations are meeting in washington d c and twenty thirteen booker t washington washington continues he said quote to accomplish what i have indicated we must have a united race million who are big enough and broad enough to now again by myself in the two thousands this is nearly ninety years ago and we're still doing the same thing because  people that were meeting that had different organizations didn't like what book a t washington was a spouse and did not want his presence so he sent a message to other organizations it's not that he was trying to subsume their organizations or weaken their organizations but strengthen them and so he came back to his strongest position landless raise he said at the present there are far too many of our people living in the cities in a hand to mouth way deep pendent on someone else for an uncertain job aside from what the soil offers there are other said these things that i earlier quoted fifty years ago prior to his departure from among us and here i am eighty years of age not knowing how much longer i have and we are still in the same condition this is why i as an extension of the honorable elijah muhammad making this appeal again for black something that people ultimately that sacrifice would be good for america don't you think that if we did something for  that it would benefit america of course it would because we would then stop enemies from thinking what should we do with the so called negro of the black man and woman of america because the very have become and in tolerable burden on us why are we going to celebrate the holy day of atonement eighteenth anniversary of the million man march in tuskegee alabama first of all university as a prime university among the historically black colleges and universities this little town of tusky has given to black was rosa parks but is also from tuskegee that experiments in population control started it started from the for forty years and from the institute using the good name a book at t washington in george washington carver this experiment  about that it started from an institution that was founded on such beautiful immutable principles that would lead to black economic strength the same path that the jewish community took to gain power in america or they never of the american scene back to dr king's words the first thing that he talked about was a white backlash washington did not want to create a white backlash he felt that if he worked to help us develop ourselves economically it w lead to a political reality with the right to vote and all of that but he felt if we pursued at that time breaking down the barriers that whites had  in law then the backlash from white people would stop our economic advancement was he wise in this approach it wasn't that we didn't need to break these unjust laws he had an economic approach and it is all right to say that  approach was the approach of the jewish people when they were told you can't come in they didn't try to change any laws they pool their resources and when they couldn't go into miami beach they just turned around and bought it we have that same opportunity in front of us today have you thought of nelson mandela the great warrior in south africa when he became president there was a way that he could have gone that would damp  nations but the moment he realized that that was not what he and joshua were in comal were fighting for they were fighting to get back the land then the resources that a man honored and respected by them the white backlash and sanctions now on him and zimbabwe mandela was loved because he did not put black people on a war path to take back what rightly belongs to them so white people were comfortable with him and they were also comfortable with book t washington with his approach mandela was wise for if they took the military path it would have destroyed south africa he gave south africa time to develop mentally educationally spiritually so that you have to make white people uncomfortable oh timidly the well that is under the foot of the people of south africa belongs to the people of south africa not to those who are sucking the life out of south africa while we have the right to vote but are still living in terrible conditions we cannot get justice and freedom in america seeking to make our former slave masters and their children comfortable with our approach w that man booker t washington did you know that that man was really a man that  marcus garvey came to america to meet with mr washington unfortunately booker t washington had passed booker t washington had the his young students in architecture lay out the plans for tuskegee university they took the institute and now university was bill that when i spoke to the students that university a few months ago i said quote you more than who you think you are because of who you are you are in danger so tonight i want to expose the danger and god's grace give you the guidance to be exactly what i said that you  of the kingdom of god because he has received high amounts of government funding for research and experimentation the most recent being the he la or without another purpose beyond what they tell us or you have to remember history to guide you in the way you think it's all right to think that people have changed but you cannot go to sleep you have to watch to see if the change is real for example in the 's the u s government experimentation this is what i'm afraid of the research that is going on into us with the heller cells now the enemy has created genetic weapons are designed specifically for certain genetic groups and they are designing different drugs for that same purpose dr jonas salk use cancer that was introduced into s v forty into the polio vaccine and that's why be honorable elijah mohammed in the sixty's for bad his followers from taking the polio scheme of things was the syphilis experiment so important is the headline experiment and research so did not want to see another in a future generation that the children would have to contend with my question is what type of research and how will this jesus was born in a manger it's not an accident that such greatness has come out of that little city it's a manger it's a place of feeding ground or it's a feeding place for people that have been made savage that from such the now a university can come that which will civilize not only the black man and woman of america but from the honorable elijah muhammad saw a world institution when we dedicated mosque the national center the honorable elijah muhammad called it a center for the real education and retraining of the black man and great educator and he was received with guru eight love and respect and honor the honorable elijah muhammad said that time at present we have hundreds of clubs organizations thousands of teachers hundreds of educators scholars scientists technicians doctors judges lawyers we have all kinds of organizations all these talented people the one thing we don't have is the unity of the whole or what actually is preventing this unity of now nearly fifty million of us the honorable elijah mohammed said it is the ignorance and foolish love and fear of our enemies by the professional and leadership class of people he says hit the disgraceful uncle tom's in a world of freedom learning in advance science in every branch of study how long shall we see the white man's education to become the servants instead of becoming builders of a progressive nation of our own on why don't you come why don't you bring your followers why don't you sit down and let's agree on a program that will lead various us beyond begging for the crumbs that fall from our enemies table in conclusion the great honorable marcus garvey was inspired by a book at the washington he said i read up from slavery and then my dream if i may call it of being a race leader dawn marcus garvey was fond of saying  those nickels and dimes are we and remember that on that day we will announce the bank and the banking institutions and how we will go about it we are inviting all of the black students of the fourteen historically black colleges and universities in alabama we're inviting the students from mississippi  georgia and louisiana and texas to join us we want to sit down with bees young colts i'll get into that more next week and let's sit down and think about the type of happen now we've got some difficult days ahead but it doesn't matter with me now because i've been to the mountaintop i don't mind like any body i would like to live a long life longevity has its place but i'm not concerned about that now add just want to do god's will and he's allowed me to go up to the mountain and i've looked over and i've seen the promised land now i may not get there with you but i won't you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land god bless guide and protect you may he help us to find the common ground and new night so that we can solve the problem of poverty and want in the midst of plenty thank you for listening and may allah bless you as i greet you in peace as home tune in every week same time same station for truth guidance and unequal
