Upon graduating high school, our bold and
shining Black prince won a scholarship Dillard University in
Louisiana to pursue his degree in theological studies. At this
time he ministered at Sloan Memorial Methodist Church. While
at Dillard University young Khallid first heard Minister Louis
Farrahkan, the National Representative of the Honorable Elijah
Muhammad. He had a big Afro and a huge medallion of Malcolm X
around his neck. After hearing Minister Farrakhan speak
Khallid Abdul Muhammad joined the Nation of Islam under the
leadership of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Immediately
Brother Harold X, as he was known at that time became renown
as a top recruiter in the south for the Black Muslims. Dr.
Khallid continued his studies and graduated from Pepperdine
University in Los Angeles California. He then was the
recipient of an academic fellowship, and matriculated to do
"Intensive Studies" at Harvard, Yale, and Columbia
Universities. The skills of higher education as well as his
fighting spirit made Minister Khallid a valuable weapon to the
Nation of Islam and the Black Nation in general.
After his historic lecture on November 29,
1993 at Kean College in Union, New Jersey which shook the
racist, Zionist, imperialist, white supremist foundation of
the world, the President of the United State and Vice
President Gore condemned Dr. Khallid Muhammad. The United
States Senate voted 97-0 to censure him. Minister Khallid and
Minister Louis Farrahkan are the only two in history to be
censured by the U.S. Senate. And for the first time in
history, The United States House of Representatives (The Full
Congress) in a special session, passed House Resolution 343
condemning a so called private citizen. At historic Howard
University in 1994 Khallid Muhammad keynoted the world
wide-watched Black Holocaust conference with Dr. Leonard
Jeffries, Dr. Tony Martin and convened by then student
organizer Malik Zulu Shabazz.
These events shook the world but Khallid
Muhammad did not break under the pressure. In May, 1994 an
assassination attempt was made on his life. Khallid Muhammad
was blessed to recover and fight with even more vigor and
intensity. He spoke at many churches and served as a minister
at the 1st Afrocentric Temple in Atlanta, Georgia before his
transition to the ancestors.
1998 Minister Khallid Abdul Muhammad led an
armed militant group of New Black Panther members into Jasper
Texas to chase out the Klu Klux Klan who were making a mockery
of the beheading and dragging death of brother James Byrd. On
Sept 5th, 1998 He was the convener of the Million Youth March
Black Power Rally, held on Malcolm X Blvd in New York. With
the help of the December 12th Movement, the Million Youth
March won historic legal battles against the racist Guiliani
administration over free speech "constitutional rights". The
Million Youth March went forward the streets of Harlem were
flooded with throngs of Black youth and people who supported
this massive Black Power
revival. |
