from out on the streets greetings to you i am minister louis farrakhan national representative of the honorable elijah mohammed that great preacher of freedom justice and  united states of america and the nations of the earth allied to mohammad the eternal leader of the nation of islam i'm so thankful to almighty god a law for the day that i met the honorable elijah muhammad as a young man i always desired to see black people three i cried myself to sleep many nights especially after coming from the church and my sunday school class where i would ask my sunday school teacher if god gave moses to the children of israel to deliver them from the heart bondage of fair rule and if god only stood on the side of being slaved in the oppressed why has it in god sent someone else my pastors and my sunday school teachers had no answer for me i was upset because i was a christian and i loved jesus christ but when i was a young man white christians would be doing horrible things to black christians and no intercession was taken on our behalf so i started to look for somebody who would address the concerns of our people when i was eleven years of age i was sent by my mother to new york to spend part of the summer with my uncle and my uncle had on his wall a picture of a black man in my house in boston we had pictures on our men two piece one of whom was queen elizabeth then king george and the other was a white representation of jesus but in my own calls home black man was on the wall that was really strange to me because all the homes that i had visited as a young man all the black homes had a picture of jesus a white person i remember once a filipino man came to our door he was selling bibles and as he was opening the bibles showing my she ran him out of the house and that was for me a surname that my mother after i talked to my uncle who told me my dad was a garvey and my mother was on the fringe of the garvey movement she was very black conscious and they go for that because she instilled in me love for people i all we felt the pain of those that i would read about in the crisis magazine all in the afro american all the pittsburgh courier when we would read of the lynchings and the burnings and the castrations and the terrible torture of black people when white people felt we had done something improper and so my heart ached to see our people free and so i asked my uncle who is that maine on the wall he he's a man that came to unite black people that fascinated me i was a little shorty at that time so i asked my uncle to get  chair so i could stand on that show drink in the features of this black man who had come to unite black people and as i was looking in his face studying his features i asked my own call where is he that i my goal and be with him to what my heart was yearning for and he was gone my search all we was for a man that would stand up for us when i was nineteen years of age a musician in taina young boy going to school  was in college at the time and had come home for the summer vacation and one of my friends told me that god had chosen a messenger for us as i walked the street tears fell from my eyes and i ask god was not even born so i decided i must go and meet this man and offer him my life my friends said visited the mosque and heard the teachings of the honorable elijah mohammed but they were not adequate to defend it because i had i married at twenty years of age and was in college and then when i was twenty two years of age i was playing in a my club in chicago called the blue angel nightclub that was on a do a one off rush street agree greek wrestler by the name of jean fogg dooley was the owner of that nightclub and there i was the featured performer and then as i was in a cab driving and coming down a street i happened to look and see my old friend my wife could be dude was in the cab with me we stopped the cab paid the cab driver jumped out of the cab and hailed my friend that grew up together with me and naturally since he's in chicago i'm in chicago and i'm the headliner at the  to my friend man why don't you come on in and catch my show he wasn't moved a bit and he said your own cool is right around the corner and the honorable elijah muhammad had a little girl said we still on when we were in chicago this is nineteen fifty five mayor daley had just been elected to his first term and i went around the corner and saw my uncle and saw some of my friends from boston who had become muslims so they asked me would i like to come and hear the honorable  course and so i was staying at the wilmington noms on forty nine and drexel and my friends came and picked me up and brought me to my home and temple number two at fifty three thirty five south greenwood avenue in chicago illinois it was a tall beautiful man opening up for elijah mohammed who had not yet come and that man was the great dean of minister somebody from the back of the auditorium say is that the messenger of allah and i heard fast footsteps coming down the aisle and almost with a bound eliza mohamed jumped up on the rostrum he had me sitting where usually first timers first timers always get the best seats in the house front rural second row third rule but he had me sitting in the balcony and i looked across was sar a brother that was a great musician in boston he was a muslim and there i was waving at him and he acted like he didn't even see me  then elijah mohammed began to speak and as he spoke you know being a student of english and always getting pretty good can't speak and he looked up at the balcony where was this brother that did not have a chance to get that mighty fly education that you cut when i got to the school door it was closing he meant that he was you play any attention to how i'm saying it you pay attention to what i'm saying and then you take in put it in that fin language that you know he laid eyes on me for the first time and gave me my assignment he spoke for nearly three hours or more and is subject was a say via is born and at the end of his legs he asked for acceptance is and a week old and she got up and went to the back and was joining on i was still sitting in my chair i wasn't quite there no ready your wife been gone already well you know i was always taught to be respectful so i wouldn't not do what he asked me to do so i went but after i took my form and went out to go back home and write a letter my wife and i both wrote letters together i gave up smoking i gave up eating the swine my wife was my girlfriend i didn't have any girlfriends to give up so i was cleaning up my life to become a follower of the honorable elijah muhammad i was living in new york at the time so when i got back to new york i went to the temple number seven and heard malcolm x well that was it i had never heard a black man speak like that and i had not heard from my letter in february and this was in the summer so i took my form out again and wrote my letter and it was accepted around the first week of october of that the being a musician and wanting to go back to boston and deliver that message new that i had to give to the speech and on a wednesday evening brother malcolm s for the new converts to come in have a word to say and when he called louis journey in the ministry began i was not in the mosque thirty days and decree had come down from be honorable elijah mohammed i was working in greenwich village in new york in a place called the village bon would have to get out of music or get out of the temple i don't remember with that i finished my bowl of soup and got up and walked out of the restaurant to think i think i may have walked thirty paces and i said i can live without music but i cannot live without the truth and brother captain use of she ran up to calypso dance told jill i played jazz violin i played classical violin i was finished and after i got it all said you are extremely talented do you have a man and i said knows there he said i manage pearl bailey and billy daniels and in case you don't know these two pearl bailey was the greatest of her day and believe then you the same he said if you will let me manage your career i will start you off five hundred dollars a week and you will be playing in i'm going to show you how in just a minute that man all for me murder money three or four times what i was making at that time a hundred fifty dollars a week was big money in fifty four and fifty five but to offer me five hundred dollars playing in supper clubs across the country that was a great offer i didn't tell him i wasn't going to take it i just said yes he said well when you come in the city view meet me tomorrow have our lawyer and we'll sign a contract i smiled and took the address of where we would meet and i went back to my little apartment in jamaica queens long island and that night i laid down in my bed in our law gave me a vision of two doors one of them had a sign over it saying success and i could look in that door and i saw a mound of diamonds and gold and right next to it to choose and i chose the door of islam not knowing where that door would lead me but if i stayed in show business i was old to give up the world to learn the truth that would free the minds of black people it's written in the scriptures of the bible jesus talking if any man would be my disciple he must first didn't i himself pick up here is a cross and follow me i did the first thing i didn't know i had myself but i did international public attention i assume went to boston and became a captain of the air for i in my minister at that time allowed me to teach when he was in there and every time i taught if everyone that believes brought would accept the teaching the little mosque feels so fast we had to put it all on the outside saviors they came around again and i went to chicago as a captain and the honorable elijah mohammed head is save his day at the baptist church on indiana avenue had think it's fellowship and he came out because this day the captain's was speaking and i got up to speak  n sitting behind me in later they showed me a picture of him sitting behind me with a big smile on his face and he invited me to come to the house for dinner and i was excited and his home was at forty forty seven south woodlawn and when i went in to head with this man it was now the father of my life spiritually i couldn't take my eyes off of him if you think that love at first sight is not real it is because with him i met the man that my soul had longed for all the days of my life and that the in the dead didn't something i never saw him do again he got up from his table and he started at his left and he shook hands with everyone at that table i was near the end on his right side and when he came in shook my hand he pulled me close to him and whispered in my ear you remind me of i didn't know what he meant but he knew that that young man that musician that gave up all that he had was going to be the one big when he had left us would sit in the hears seat under his guidance and continue his he asked jesse do you have another son walked in that room the spirit of god descended on samuel and samuel knew that this one would be the anointed one to stand for the children of israel well i'm saying these things to say this to you  time and what must be done is a powerful message i preach a living a lie i did not know that all the years that i was privileged to be at his table he was planting seeds in my head in my heart even but i didn't know what those words met at the proper time those words would come to fruition if you want to know and i only gave the trials that he put me through for twenty years not the trials that i have been under since i have been i was his national representative not spokesman representative a representative is different from a spokesman  the man that he is the representative of he put me on the radio for sixty years broadcasting in his name and he told me brother god has gone in front of you and made friends for you all the way around the earth i didn't know what he meant but in my recent most of them were educated in america and big grew up on farrakhan representing the honorable elijah mama i'm not talking about one prime minister i'm talking about practically everyone that i had the privilege of meeting government people bank because heads of universities grew up farrakhan in fact one university president held a luncheon for me when i took sick and came back from the hospital i was in his home brother and you may not remember me but i was in your first study group in rebuilding the nation i came to new york to hear that speech he's a great lawyer and now he's a great president of  university now and we re made acquaintance in my last trip now why did i spend such time where we are if we know the time and what must be done so in the remaining minutes of this broad canst i about virtue and subject agreement he said brother we are in the present our actions must not belong to the past we are free so we should act like free men get out of a slave mentality looking for others to do for us please understand that you are no longer to be dear servitude slave we must come out of their names riginal people of the earth you don't look like a free man all the great works that you do you do it in their names you've been baptized life when you get to know the name then you must make a decision i want to make a free step if you don't surely the koran says man is in los by the time well i talked about last few broadcasts ago of white america and black america satisfied because he is not there to fulfill a black agenda in the first term now that he's reelected in a second term that is not what the  wearing their names made us citizens by the fed the men mit and took it away in the thirteenth amendment what do you mean by that  that status as a free man and as a citizen while look at how many black people in prison right now as felons and even though our population is growing and our brown brothers population is growing and the demographers are saying that by the year twenty forty six america will be a brown nation every man will do you think that the racist element in white america wants to see that reality when every virtue and very population is diminishing w was is increasing that means with one poll you could be governor with one in the hands of black and brown you could be senators in one so you could be ruling america does that sit with the racists mind it doesn't sit well so birth control must be practiced among the native people the indians fulfilled his promise so we're asking the government of the united states of america some of us are asking for reparations they don't even to consider it well you will because the scriptures that i quoted to you shall the lawful captive be delivered shelled the prey be taken from the douglas debate he said for some negroes who were educated to come to the white house and they didn't want to leave massa they wanted just stay in america and time and what must be done to every black man woman and child in america and after we teach that subject then we should take up as to how many of us want to stay with the enemy or how many of us want to be separated from them in a land of the promise of god is  flowing with milk and honey well milk means you have animal husbandry honey means you have bees that are pollinating flowers you have vegetation you have land that is fertile land that is what must be done well america you have a man can be used to slaughter black people let me say in a heartbeat we don't carry weapons because we want to show you the accumulates so the winner in our homes when this dispute with the truth where does it lie in it takes our rational mind not people guided by emotion to find the truth and act on the principles of the true and since i have been on this post by the grace of god we have never picked up  people naturally we will fight with those who fight with us but we are commanded never to be the aggressor what must be done our colleges and universities must educate the black man and woman for self independence we need all branches of engineering we need medicine we need law we need science we need biology we need chemistry we need all of the sciences that will help us to build an independent  know that in cuba come undone to feed the castro had efford us up thousand scholarships for black and brown and paul white to come to cuba in their medical program and in six seasons we would come out doctors ribbit to pass any exam in america to be qualified to practice medicine and the only thing you were quiet was that we practice that medicine in the communities of of which we came that's a great offer northwestern university had thirty thousand applications to the medical school but only three hundred students could be chosen i'm sorry three thousand students could be chosen twenty seven thousand students had to go somewhere else where did they go why is it that we don't have enough doctors don't be afraid to go to cuba well bit communis in upcoming broadcasts and going to talk to you about this blockade on cuba what america must do to win back her favor with the nations of the earth so i want you all to think about what must be done the honorable elijah muhammad to fight against poverty and want you need to know what we must do to prepare a future for ourselves whether it's here we can't leave white america i mean that that's not intelligent where would we go well we'll talk about that in one of our next broadcast you say separation is not the answer i say to the government and people of the united states separation of us from you is the only answer and you will soon come to know the intending that those guns that are in the homes of nearly three hundred fifty million guns among two hundred  fifteen million americans and every black person in america does not have a gun there intending that if something happens god forbid and we angered him upset and rise they intend to more us down it's written in the scriptures in the book of revelation that blood would be up to the horse's bridle they're planning that it is your blood in my blood our blood but all of these mili londe they hate the government and the scriptures says god speaking i'm going to give you your own blood to drink and you be drunk with your own blood as with sweet wine so in upcoming broadcasts not only black man much
