  • Abdat Fathie Ali [email protected]
    Before the Fez: The Life and Times of Drew Ali, 1886-1924 Fathie Ali Abdat [email protected] I. Finding Ali A scrutiny of black American Islamic literature reveals that while there is a proliferation of texts on religious communities like the Nation of Islam, Five Percenters, Ahmadiyya and Sunnis, there is a paucity of accounts on the Moorish Science Temple of America (MSTA), an Asiatic Moslem religious movement founded in mid 1920s Chicago for African-Americans. According to Edward Curtis IV, academics’ relative silence on MSTA’s early religious history and its prophet Noble Drew Ali (1886-1929) has been attributed to a dearth of primary source literature external to the movement as well as the permeation of hagiographic Moorish myths Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Religion Volume 5, Issue 8 (August 2014) ©Sopher Press (contact [email protected]) Page 1 of 39 sculptured by different groups.1 MSTA religious texts like the Circle Seven Koran, Koran Questions for Moorish Americans and the Moorish Guide (1928-1929) only serves to document the movement’s sanitized history from its official inception in 1925 onwards but divulges vague silhouettes of Ali’s pre 1925 origins with the exception of scant allusions to his birth details and roots of his proto-MSTA religious establishment, the Canaanite Temple in Newark, New Jersey. Essentially, this manuscript takes up Curtis’ challenge to probe against the grain of romanticized Moorish myths and empirically reconstruct Ali’s beginnings prior to donning the Moorish American fez of Prophethood in 1925 through an examination of fortuitously surfaced documents such as Ali’s World War I draft card, census records and street directories.

Black Musi im leaders such as. Muhammad Ali last week joined Christia·n and Jewish leaders in t6ndemning hfs demonic rant i ngs of hatred. Muhammad Ali rightly said that _Farrakhan 1s 1'1terrible11 statements betray true Muslim thinking about J~daism and ~ews , from whom the Islamic faith derives. But' the leader of the American Muslim Mission , Warith Muhammed, zeroed in on the true threat Farrakhan represents to all Americans. Warith Munamm'ec! said it bluntly last week: 11 Farrakhan represents the same kind of th i ng that Hitler taught. 11 While the press has treated Farrakhan's obscenities .mainly as a ~la~k­ Jewish iss~e, the plain fact is that h i s verbal violence and his separatist ideology are a clear- cut attack on basic American democratic values and institutions. When Farrakhan said that 11 Hitler was a great man, wickedly great," that was not jus.t a rhetorical flourish ~ Farrakhan·1s ideology, which is subs.1id:Lze'd .by Libya 1 s .

  • Urban Design and Visual Resources A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 8: Urban Design and Visual Resources A. INTRODUCTION This chapter considers the effects of the proposed project on urban design and visual resources. The proposed project would result in redevelopment of the Victoria Theater site, which includes a vacant State-owned theater that has been determined eligible for listing on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. The Victoria Theater comprises two buildings. The South Building fronts onto West 125th Street and contains the original entrance and lobby of the theater. The North Building is located on West 126th Street and contains the former auditorium and other accessory public spaces. The proposed project would retain, restore, and reuse the South Building as part of the proposed project and redevelop the site of the North Building with approximately 360,000 square feet (sf) of residential, hotel, retail, parking, and cultural uses in a new building. Under the CEQR Technical Manual, urban design is defined as the totality of components that may affect a pedestrian’s experience of public space. These components include streets, buildings, visual resources, open spaces, natural resources, and wind. An urban design assessment under CEQR must consider whether and how a project may change the experience of a pedestrian in a project area. The CEQR Technical Manual guidelines recommend the preparation of a preliminary assessment of urban design and visual resources, followed by a detailed analysis, if warranted based on the conclusions of the preliminary assessment. The analysis provided below addresses urban design characteristics and visual resources for existing conditions and the future without and with the proposed project.
