Tribute to an Afrikan General (Pt 2)

“I’m one of the holocaust survivors, I’m one of the holocaust victims, but I’m a freedom fighter. I’m a revolutionary; I consider myself a righteous man of God.

- Khabyr Hadas

I believe that when you are a victim of constant day-to-day genocide, oppression, white supremacy, rabid racism, and violence on every level, then it means that you fight in every way that you can and by any means necessary. It is my job as a revolutionary. It is my job as a revolutionary and freedom fighter to wage war with the enemy.” Khalid Muhammad

MAKING OF THE MAN

Khalid was born on January 12, 1948, in Houston Texas. At an early age, he developed leadership skills and became a star debater at Phyllis Wheatley Highschool. He also was a star athlete, eagle scout, and officer of the student government. Khalid was granted a full scholarship to Dillard University in Louisiana to pursue a degree in Theological Studies. While studying, he began to minister at Sloan Memorial Church.

One year, during Black history month at college, Minister Louis Farrakhan spoke to the student body. Khalid would inform us that Farrakhan would transform his thinking and that he had never heard a man speak the way that he did. Farrakhan touched on the core of the Black Liberation struggle, quoting the Bible, Quran, and prophesies. Shortly after hearing Minister Farrakhan speak, Khalid would join the Nation of Islam under the leadership of Elijah Muhammad.
