Latinos in Nation of Islam Celebrating Saviours’ Day 2008

Latino men and women of the Nation of Islam (N.O.I.) from the Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Columbian, Ecuadorian, Belizean and Chilean community traveled from all over the country and Canada to participate in the three day N.O.I. Saviours’ Day Convention held in Chicago, IL on February 22-24. Saviours’ Day is the annual commemoration of the Birth of Master Fard Muhammad, on February 26, the Founder of the Nation of Islam. The convention culminated with the keynote address, “The Gods At War; The Future Is All About Y.O.U.th” by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

Saviours’ Day is a very exciting time for all in the N.O.I., a family reunion at its best. Though many would like to believe that the N.O.I. is a religion for “Blacks,” the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught that “Mexicans should be given the same teachings” that were given to the Black man and woman. Through the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad we (Latinos) have learned to “accept our own and be ourselves” and we have embraced a unity that extends beyond our individual nationality.”*
