DREW ALI xas offering then pride cf rang and dignity. In J33? a successful convention encouraged bR?T All to expend his proselytising activities to other cities, It is difficult to ascertain just how many temples resulted, but those in Pittsburgh, Petrcit; °harleston, West Virginia; lensing, Michigan; and Youngstown, Ohio are fcir1y"rell authenticated. HEW ALI had written and published his "Koran," a sllm pamphlet consisting of a curious mixture of the Mohammedan holy book of the same name, the Christian Bible and anecdotes of the life of Jesus~-the whole hound together with the Prophet's own pronouncements and interpretations, The Prophet began to do a profitable business in various nostrums and charms he had concocted, among them Old Moorish Healing Oil, Hoorish Purifier Bath Compound and Moorish Herb Tea for Human Ailments. More and more "Asiatics" flocked to the star and crescent standard. They flaunted their fezzes on the street and treated the white man with undisguiaed contempt. The Prophet announced that each devout Moorish American must carry a card bearing his credentials and his real or Asiatic! name, signed by the Prophet with his seal. Often enough "slave" names were transformed into "real" ones by the simple addition of "El" or "Bey", those being titles signifying Moorish dignity. The membership card and button, when displayed to Europeans, would convince them that the bearer was enlightened and a member of an organization to be feared and respected. To the Prophct this theory of new-found indepcncnco had been a more or less purely ethical or theoretical point, and he had not reckoned on its practical effect among his zealous followers. Alarming reports of street brawls, threats, insults, and minor violence centering around Moorish Americana were brought to his notice. Members were accosting tho white enemy on the streets, showing their membership cards and buttons, and proclaiming in the name of their Prophet, NOBLE IREJ ALI, that they had been freed of European domination. Recalling the dbwnfall of the militant Abyssinians and contemplating the current difficulties of the Garvey movement, DEW All issued this Ukesc: ~ I hereby warn all Moors that they must cease from all radical or agitating speeches while on their jobs, or in , their homes, or on the streets. Stop flashing your cards k before Europeans as this only causes confusion. We did not to cause confusion; our work is to uplift the nation." ~ . I - .

In 1929 he became embroiled in a quarrel with CLXUDE GREENE, politician and former butler of JULIUS ._ -- ROSENWALD, who previously had joined the temple. One day DRE? arrived at - his office to find that GREENE had moved all the furniture outside and declared himself Grand Sheik. A civil war ensued, each faction enlisting Q support from temples in other cities. GREENE was shot and stabbed to death in his offices at the Unity Club on the night of March 15, 1929. DREW All, arrested as he sat with his wife and group of followers celebrating 92.> authorities charged! the m der of his rival, was defended by Attorneys / AARON;P INE and WILLIAM L¢?%iWSON, temple members who later gained political prominence. The Prophet, from prison, issued a message to his flock: . "To the Heads of all Temples, Islam: 1 "I, your Prophet, do hereby and now write you a letter as a warning and appear to your good judgment for the present and the future. Though I am now in custody for you and the 0 cause, it is all right and it is well for all who still _, n believe in me and my father, God. I have redeemed all of you and you shall be saved, all of you, even with me. I 1': go to bat Monday, May 20, before the Grand Jury. If you are 1 with me, be there. Hold on and keep faith and great shall be your reward. Remember my laws and love ye one another. Prefer not a stranger to your brother. Love and truth and -1' my peace I leave all. 1 "Peace from Your Prophet a~ NO?-112 . 1JP_E!T ALI" w :- This proved to be DREW ALI's final official proclamation. Released on 92_ . bond, he died under mysterious circumstances a few weeks later. One v theory is that he succumbed to injuries inflicted by the police during his imprisonment, another is that he was set upon by partisans of GREENE 1 after his release and beaten so severely that he never recovered. 92.:1 1 After HEW AII's dcabh Attorney AARON PAYNE attempted unsuccessfully to | hold the group together.

Also the Niger River was drudged by the great Pharoah of Egypt in those ancient days for trade, and it extends eastward from the River Nile, westward across the _e. great Atlantic. It was used for trade and transportation. According to all true and divine records of the human race there is no Negro, black, or colored race attached to the human family, because 10. all the inhabitants of Africa were and are of the human race, descendants --. of the ancient Canaar te nation from the holy land of Canaan. ll. What your ancient forefathers were, you are today without doubt of contradiction. ii There is no one who is able to change man from the descendant nature 4 12. of his forefathers; unless his power extends beyond the great universal 'r Creator Allah himself. 1 These holy and divine laws are from the Prophet, NOBLE DEW AII, the 15. founder of the uniting of the Moorish Holy Temple of Science of North America. These laws are to be strictly preserved by the members of all the Temples, of the Moorish Holy Temple of Science, That they will learn 1A Lin to open their meetings and guide it according to the principles of love, Truth, Peace, Freedom, an Justice. Every subordinate Temple of the Grand Majcr Temple is to form under the covenant of love, Truth, Peace, Freedom and Justice; and create their own laws and customs, in conjunction with the laws of the Holy Prophet and the Grand Temple. I, the Prophet, NOBLE UREW ALI, was sent by the 15. great God, Allah, to warn all Asiatics of America to repent from their sinful ways; before that great and awful day which is sure to come. The time has come that every nation must worship under his own vine and 16. fig tree, and every tongue must confess his own. Through sin and disobedience every nation has suffered slavery, due to 17. the fact that they hnorcd not the creed and principles of their fore- fathers. 3-"; "ls That is why the nationality of the Moors was taken away from them in 1° I TQ-I 1774 and the word Negro, black and colored was given to theAsiatics of America who were Moorish Descent, because they honored not the Gha principles of their mother and father, and strayed after the gods of a -. Europe whom they knew nothing of. 1. 1:2" 15*? - pter Sl lll THE ENE OF TIME AND THE FULFILLING OF THE PROPHESIE5 ' _ ..c ' The last Prophet in these days is NOBLE DREW ALI, who was prepared divinely in due time by kllah to redeem men from their sinful ways; and to warn them of the great wrath which is sure to come upon the earth. 3': .

That the world may hear and know the truth that among the descenants of Africa there is still much wisdom to be learned in these days for the redemption of the sons of men under love, Truth, Peace, Freedom, and Justice. 1 . 6.

Neither serve the gods of their religion because = v.92 our forefathers are the true and divine founders of the first religious Creed, for the redemption and salvation of mankind on earth. 7- Therefore we are returning the Church and Christianity back to the European Nations, as it was prepared by their forefathers for their '1 4- ' ._,_ earthly salvation. -92| 8.
