[Peniel E. Joseph], a professor at SUNY-Stony Brook University, became interested in the Black Power Movement from his mother, who is a Haitian immigrant trade unionist. He described that their "dinner table conversation in [his] youth," was filled with narrative stories of the Black Power Movement globally. These chats inspired his book, "Waiting 'Til the Midnight Hour: A Narrative History of Black Power in America.

More to the point, it's hard for an all-Black organization that has referred to White people as "devils" to receive mainstream acceptance - not that the NOI has ever cared anything about that sort of acceptance. Consequently, the Nation has often been viewed as more of a fringe element than anything else; ragingly militant and pro-Black at its best, out-of-date and out-of-touch at its worst. Although most are familiar with the story of the late Malcolm X, and today's Minister Louis Farrakhan continues to draw huge crowds wherever he speaks - with or without press coverage - a dwindling number are aware of the late Elijah Muhammad, who served as mentor to both Malcolm X and Farrakhan.

I thought to myself, "Who in the hell would make a social network out of something so foul?" which was quickly followed by "Who in the hell would use it?" Imagine my disdain upon learning that seven million people visited the site in 2007, according to Google Analytics. I get it. "n*gga," is a term that is used for a friend. I even understand when the term "n*gger" was appropriated and repurposed during the 1960s and the Black Power Movement. It was about taking the term and making it something different. Although many portray those in the Black Power Movement...

Most people may know that historically, the Jewish community was very strongly supportive of the modern civil rights movement," King said. "It was the relationship with our Jewish friends that helped strategize and sustain the movement because of the common suffering that I believe blacks and Jews shared.
