Nation of Islam minister spreads vision, message for October gathering, demand for gov’t redress in Washington, D.C.
CHICAGO - Speaking to an array of youth, leaders, activists, pastors and politicians, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan continued sharing the vision of and need for the 20th anniversary gathering of the Million Man March in Washington, D.C. in early October.
The Nation of Islam minister spoke passionately and frankly to a crowded ballroom at Salaam Restaurant, warning that the American system and world governments have failed. These governments are ruled by Satan and cannot bring into reality what the people desire and want, he said.
This is the day when God himself is bringing in a new reality and the Black man and woman of America are the cornerstone of this new world, he said June 11. Blacks are chosen not as dancers, singers, great athletes, accomplished professionals or even the president of the United States, a doomed and fading modern Rome and modern Babylon, Min. Farrakhan said.
“You don’t want to believe it but the Black man and woman of America are the choice of God. For what? What have we done to be his choice? If you go by our actions we’ve done nothing,” said the Minister. But God has chosen Black people as the question was asked in the Bible, can any good come out of Nazareth, the question is can any good come out of Black people? he said.
No time for cowardice
God will not be denied and cowardice will bring the wrath of God Himself because this is not the time for cowardice or cowering when God has come has come to deliver a suffering people, the Minister continued.
Slave labor made America rich, Blacks have fought in every war only to be lynched in uniform
