 * // __nathans' book report on black history__ //**
 * __Elijah Muhammad__**

This story is about a man named Elijah Muhammad. He was born under the name of Elijah Poole in October 7, 1897. He was brought to america by slave traders, but escaped. While he was in Africa he followed the religon of Islam. While he and others made groups of people were all hated by the Klue Klux Klan (KKK). These people are a gang of people that stilll belive in black slavory.

This is a poster of the KKK on the streets. The cresant moon and star is the sign of islam. Elijah wore a hat that had this on it. The people that fpllowed him were into islam also. Unfortunaltly they were prime targets for thr KKK. The KKK would hold up nuses out of car windows and even use them sometimes. back then you wouldent get charged for killing a black person. But Elijah had alot of protection from alot of people.

He was a very inportant person to alot of black musliems in the United States. He had a hate for the "White Devils". But his hate Grew even more hate between the two races. even more people joined the KKK. This is the readon that I dont admire this person.

All he did was go around and tried to get people to belive him about the whites. but not all of the people belived him about what he said about the whites. But because of this even more people joined the KKK. And with every person that belived him, more people in the KKK.

But as soon as one of his friends got gunned down he said that not all whites are as horrible as the ones that enslaved us. And then his big group slowly fell apart. The KKK stopped the killings. Thin at the age of 75 his wife died. and he just stopped talking and giving speeches.

He died at the age of 77. His death was of just old age. All of his followers just went away. they must of joined all different kinds of groups.

This book was a okay one at that. But I didnt like him because he always spoke of us as badly as we spoke of them. Two wrongs dont make a right. This book was pretty honest from what I read.
