"The Bible teaches us to love good and to hate evil. I can't love man (the white man) be- neo he is the very essence of evil." What about the white who is trying to help the Negro today, to obtain his civil rights and full equality? This man, says Muhammad Elijah, is "one im 1,000," and he will be "rewarded."

Mu- hammad Elijah says one over- riding purpose of the movement is to restore to the Negro his sense of his own personal iden- tity. Muhammad Elijah says the original humans were black.
