lDECEMBER FAST
DECLARED BY
THE HONORABLE
ELIJAH MUHAMMAD
by H. Khalif Khalifah
-----------------------
12/1/07
This
is to say to all within my reach that I still observe the fast that was declared
by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad. I have observed the month of December to
varying degrees of success for 33 years. I always attempt to participate in it
100% through my every word, act and deed. And though this is an impossibility,
the striving have help keep me as close to the straight and narrow path that I
am. I have been abundantly blessed by Allah when I forget, go into error or make
a mistake. And I have concluded that the grea-test blessing of all is that I
turn to The Creator, Sustainer and Cherisher of all persons, places and things
for help. So after 33 years of striv-ing, I believe I am in the position in life
that I have the best chance of being 100% dutiful dur-ing this month I pray for
success for everyone who is participating, ob-serving or sensitive to Black
Muslims during this time. Ultimately, I fast for the power to be a better
servant to African people, as we continue to struggle for “Freedom, Justice and
Equality”………..Peace, Khalifah, December 1, 2007

As U.S. political, civil and business leaders grappled with the pressing question of "what to do with the Negroes?" the newly freed Africans cried out immediately for restitution - payback for centuries of stolen labor, cultural degradation and dehumanizations. Indeed, Africans held as slaves have been struggling for a restored sense of wholeness since being brought to this country as chattel.
Other organizations and individuals have carried the demand for reparations farther into the twentieth century. Many of them have become a part of today's Reparations Campaign which is being spearheaded by N'COBRA.
