Inside Iowa State Feb. 6, 1998 Driven by a moral vision by Steve Sullivan When you meet Herman Blake and Emily Moore, you are not just meeting two new Iowa State faculty members. Neither are you meeting just a husband and wife. You are meeting a team two people brought together by their dedication to education and a better understanding of the diversity of American society. They have brought that dedication to Iowa State. Blake, former vice chancellor for undergraduate education and professor of sociology, anthropology and education at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, arrived on campus last month to become the first permanent director of African American studies. Moore, who officially joins the faculty in April, is founding president of Scholars for Educational Excellence and Diversity Inc., an Indianapolis-based organization that provides services to agencies and schools committed to academic excellence for diverse populations. Moore is a professor in the College of Education, with joint appointments in health and human performance and professional studies. Blake and Moore, who met in 1995 while independently consulting at the same university, have built careers in higher education administration and in research on minority groups, both in the United States and abroad.

104. Islam-usa.com Shahid Athar, elhajj malik el-shabazz - The Prince of Islam in North America from his book Reflections of an American Muslim, (Kazi Publication, Chicago, http://islam-usa.com/Malcom.htm

Lessons From MALCOLM X Dr. Shahid Athar* I thank all of you for inviting me to give this lecture in the memory of a great American and a great Muslim, Malcolm X, known to us as EL‑Hajj Malik Shabaz. It is an honor for an immigrant Muslim who never met Malcolm X to give this lecture. This is due to the recognition of the fact that more and more Americans are turning to Islam and more and more Afro‑American Muslims are returning to main‑stream Sunni Islam. The dream of universal brotherhood of all American Muslims as envisioned by Malcolm X toward the end of his journey on this planet is coming true. More and more immigrant Muslims are embracing their Afro‑American brothers and accepting Malcolm X, whom I called in a previous article "the Prince of Islam in North America," as a true leader of the Islamic movement in the U.S.A. Malcolm X as the Militant Black Nationalist It is important to learn of his revulsion to the oppression and racism from his own words as how he felt the pain. In 1963, while still with NOI, he said "The problem itself was created by the white man and it was created because the white man brought us here in chains against our will. It was a crime. And the one who committed that crime is the criminal who should pay....You don't put the crime in jail, you put the criminal in jail. And kidnaping is a crime. Slavery is a crime. Lynching is a crime. And the presence of 20 million black people in America against their will is a living testimony of the crime that Uncle Sam committed, your forefathers committed, when our people were brought here in chains.
