THE LAST PUBLIC ADDRESS OF THE HONORABLE ELIJAH MUHAMMAD

Saviors Day February 26th 1974 “ THE FAULT IS NOT ON THE SLAVE MASTER ANYMORE since he said you can go free and we see today he is not hindering us. It’s us hindering ourselves. Give Justice to whom Justice is due. .. I say to you my beloved brothers and sisters, give Justice to where it belongs and do not try to rob people out of Justice. If the ‘white’ man, (and he has), freed you and me to go to work for self and you go all around the Earth and he don’t object. Go where ever you want to. Then he’s not to blame today. YOU ARE TO BE BLAMED! This (blaming him) is a very sly way we have of dumping the burden on somebody else. .. I LOVE YOU . But I love you to do something for SELF and stop putting your faults on the slave master. If you say ‘well he won’t let me do so and so’, well THE EARTH IS BIG. Go somewhere you can do something for self without being hindered. Regardless to him trailing (and hindering) us to make it hard for us , well the Indians and the buffaloes trailed him but that didn’t stop him from opening up a great (powerful) country that you and I are siting here in. .. What I am trying to say to you is we cannot put all the faults on the ‘whites’. NO ! He don’t deserve us charging him with all the faults, because YOU ARE FREE ! “
