Looking for Farrah khan

Chapter one

This chapter is about historical facts and a meditation on the black experience in America that helped transform the young Eugene Walcott into Louis Farrakhan. On the circumstances that bought him to power as leaders of the Nation of Islam. On the policies and programs of this curious, but imposing organization, and most of all Farrakhan himself, looking for Farrakhan reveals an eminently readable appraisable of perhaps the most enigmatic on the American political scene.

I find this chapter interesting on how it tells how Farrakhan who was a boy who was a top student, track star, talented violinist, and later accomplished singer and charmer, went on to become the leader of the Nation of Islam and became one of the most feared men in America.

Chapter two

Reading this chapter makes you wonder how a group of people, can be so secretive about their religion and their belief that a human being is the supreme ruler of the universe. How people can believe that a race of people can have their own religion. The first chapters don’t really talk much about Farrakhan, although it tells you a little more about the whole Nation of Islam thing.

Chapter three

This chapter tells how Fard disappeared in Detroit 1934. The story told for more than sixty years is Fard simply disappeared, Fard who was called master kept it secret while Elijah was learning and preparing to take over the entire Nation of Islam. Nearly thirty years after Fard disappeared in Detroit, another major leader of the nation of Islam, Elijah’s obvious heir and hero to many inside and outside the Nation of Islam, disappeared in New York City. On February 21, 1965 Malcolm X took eighteen bullets on the stage of the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, Malcolm had plenty of reasons to suspect the Muslims. One of the most forcefully, Louis Farrakhan, or as he was known then as Minister Louis X, Farrakhan was Malcolm’s successor.

Chapter four

This chapter talks about secrecy, secrecy goes back to the early civilization. The Nation of Islam has over the years become more and more of secrecy or a secret society if you will. The author of this book talks in this chapter about not having access to Farrakhan. These are some things she was told about Farrakhan would attack
