A SAVIOR IS BORN
World Awaits
Savior's Day Talk
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah and leader
of the largest Islamic movement in the history of the Western World, will make his first appearance of 1964 when he
addresses the annual Savior's Day Convention in Chicago's Coliseum on Wednesday, Feb.26.
Mr. Muhammad whose unusual program for ending centuries of enslavement of black people in North America has received world-wide
attention, will address the giant gathering including thousands of Muslims, non-Muslim and visitors throughout the United
States and overseas. Already the program of the Messenger of Allah has been studied and reprinted
in Islamic and Non-Islamic publications in Africa, Asia and Europe and in such countries as India, Morocco, Egypt, Arabia,
Syria, Panama and Indonesia. Although illness prevented the Muslim leader from making a in person
appearance at last year's Convention, his telegraphed message was read to the audience.
Since that time, however the stature of the great Islamic leader has risen to the highest yet attained by a black descendant
in America and interest in the teachings and guidance of Mr. Muhammad is said here to be the widest reached by
any leader. The Savior's day program begins promptly at 2 p.m. and will contain the messenger's
inspiration and direction in the crucial struggle for black people in America.

Highlights of Messenger's AddressWar And The So-called American Negros' Problem
Should not the ever-increasing threat of universal war, and the scrimmages here and there throughout the world make us, of
all people of the earth, be more concerned about our place and future in this war? We must not
forget that the so-called Negroes are still slaves in the hands of white America. We are a long ways from our native
land and people. We live in a nation that has not shown us any love or friendship. A people, by nature, who we are as
far apart from as the poles. The so-called Negroes' problem is to find our rightful place
in this threatening universal war. Being blind,deaf and dumb to the knowledge of self have made it impossible for us
to find our way to self and our rightful place on this earth, and among our own kind until the coming of Allah (God) in the
Person of Master Fard Muhammad.
Integration
Integration is a clever trick of the devils. We should not be deceived
by the arch-deceivers in thinking that this offer of integration with them is leading us into a better life than we could
ever hope to enjoy.
Integrating with our fathers' slave masters' children
without some of this earth that we can call our own is like merchandise that was once purchased with a price, and now that
same merchandise is being returned to the same owner without a price.
Or like
a frog that has hopped out of the reach of a snake and settles down, but still in the presence and under the eyes of
the snake with the thought that it has hopped far enough to be secure. But the wise snake has his eyes on the frog
and is charming it into insensibility, and then the frog is swallowed by the charming snake. The so-called Negroes are
being charmed by the white man's promises.
END OF THE WHITE MAN'S
RULE We are now living in the time and end of the white
race's rule over the original people of earth as predict by the presence of God in the Person on Master Fard Muhammad.
We seek freedom, justice, and equality for our people; and a happy and peaceful future for us on some of this earth that we
can call our own as other nations. We do not care to serve other
independent nations. We have served this race for 400 years to maintain their independence here on the original soil of the
Red Indians and our black nation. The offer of employment is a poor future for us to depend upon, as the threat of universal
war will change the employment situation altogether. Let us seek earth and make employment for ourselves and our children
as other nations have done and are doing. Africa
The preparation that the original black people are making in Africa should be a lesson to the American so-called Negroes.
They are making a way for the future of black Africans and not for white Europeans. When the American so-called Negroes
learn to love to do something for self, and not so much love and trying to do something for the future of the white race,
they will get a place on this earth that they can call their own.
ACCEPT YOU OWN AND BE YOURSELF
Let us stop trying to be what we are not, and what we are not divinely made to be. If
we are to survive and . . . (To be continued)
