Dr. Khallid Muhammad

Warrior King for Contemporary Times

Greetings and Welcome to all who visit this humble contribution to the memory of our Brotha Dr. Khallid Abdul Muhammad. We are honored to share this. Both the website designer and the sponsor of this site, are most greatful for the blessing of having known brotha Khallid personally. Had We not, and We had to depend souly on the writings, commentaries and distortions available while researching, nothing would have been found except information on his passing or how those cultural imperialists and supremists distorted reactions to the dedication, commitment and principles that brotha Khallid embraced and the work he accomplished that benefited Black folks in the Diaspora.

We remember with gratitude the work and the good that he did to help in the rebuilding work of the Nation of Islam.  Many of us benefited from his work to double the pace in our struggle for the complete liberation of Black people in the Diaspora. Brotha Khallid was a conscious New Afrikan and worked with the Provisional Government Republic of New Afrika to continue the work of building our soverign Black Nation. His Pan-Afrikan, Afrikan Centered, Black Nationalist spirit lives on thru his spirit and work.

Brotha Khallid attended Dillard University in New Orleans, in the late 1960s. It was there that he became interested in the Black liberation movement. Brotha Khallid became well known among the grass roots folks who weren't famous, had no national aclaim, but who were the ones doing the less than glamorous daily foundation work of Black Nation building. His circle of interaction, exceeded those thought of as "Black leaders" and spread to the masses of Black people.

Brotha Khallid was named one of Farrakhan's top lieutenants in the Nation of Islam in 1981. He served in Nation of Islam mosques in New York and Atlanta throughout the decade, and in 1991 became Farrakhan's personal assistant. It was Farrakhan who gave him the name Khallid — which is Arabic, and like the Ngoni Afrikan language is Kamau (quiet warrior), Khalid means durable; one who does not grow weak; or he remains strong even in old age; warrior — but he was born Harold Moore Jr. in 1948. "i was born to give the white man hell, and i will give him hell from the cradle to the grave," he told an Atlanta crowd in 1995. Bro. Khallid held the post of national spokesman for the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam from 1991 until 1993. By 1985, Brotha Khallid had become one of Minister Louis Farrakhan's most trusted advisors in the Nation of Islam. He accompanied Farrakhan on fund-raising trips to Libya, where he became well acquainted with Muammar el-Qaddafi. Brotha Khalid's dedication to Farrakhan and to the message of the NOI secured him the title of national spokesman.

Ma'at, "the truth" of Brotha Khallid's remarks, first drew harsh criticism for a speech he gave at New Jersey's Kean College in November 1993. He aledgedly referred to Jews as "bloodsuckers," and aledgedly called for the karmic-genocide of white people. Farrakhan responded to Brotha Khallid's speech by removing him from the NOI's hierarchy, although he took issue only with the form, not "the truth" of Brotha Khalid's remarks. After being stripped of his position as NOI spokesman, Brotha Khallid led the New Black Panther Party for Self Defense (NBPP), which was in the public spotlight in Jasper, Texas. He traveled with about 50 comrades to protect the streets of Jasper in the wake of the heinous racial (nebulous, vague and ambiguous term that it is to define our condition) murder of James Byrd Jr. He also organized and led the 1998 Million Youth March in New York. Many misinformed and deluted persons blamed Brotha Khalid for inciting the melee between demonstrators and new york city poLICE officers, which concluded the march, by exhorting the crowd to beat the police with rails and to shoot them with their own guns in "self-defense." What an oxymoron it is to acuse him of inciting against police as if such incitement is required to provoke nyc poLICE to attack Black people. Such delusions implies that Black folks have no right to self defense in the face of such common paternalistic superiority complexed attacks.

Muhammad led the "Million Youth March" in New York City in 1998. The rally, attended by about 6,000 people, ended in poLICE attack on marchers. Dozens were injured.

"We were sccessful to put Black power back in the hearts and minds of our youth, to put Black power back on the minds and hearts of our people as We prepare to go into the year two thousand," said Brotha Khallid. "After the Million Youth March, We can do nothing but move forward. After mass mobilization comes mass organization" said Brotha Khallid. He said that representatives and  members of the Black Power Organizing committee for the Million Youth March, have begun to work in the cities to build Black power cadres.

He organized a second and third "Million Youth March," but the most recent one drew a crowds of about 100, poLICE said. Brotha Khallid laid the blame squarely where it belonged with the "devil white media" and city officials for the low turnout. Black folks are not so easily proned to selective or historic memory in the face of such poLICE action as Amadou Dialo's murder. We are neither fooled nor convinced that threats, harrassment and deceptions by poLICE and other factions of the imperialist infrastructure were not the cause of detering and discouraging turnout. It certainly would not have been the first time. There is historic prescidence for such harrassment. Can We say, southern voter registration?

Bro. Khallid, was the chairman of the New Black Panther Party. “The 35 chapters of the New Black Panther Party for Self Defense lives on and carries out the instructions and teachings of our National Chairman, Minister Khallid Abdul Muhammad.  The strong work of the New Black Panther Party for Self Defense continues today, tomorrow and until the Black Nation is totally free.  The Party is uncompromised, too Black, too strong and completely intact,” the Party declared in a statement released at the time of Bro. Khallid’s passing.

Minister Dr. Khallid Abdul Muhammad made his transition to the Ancestors at age 53. Funeral services for Dr. Khallid Abdul Muhammad were held on Saturday, Feb. 24, 2001, at 9 a.m. at Mount Olivet Church in Harlem, N.Y., at 120th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard. A wake was held  on Friday, Feb. 23, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Unity Funeral Home in Harlem at 2352 8th Avenue.

Members of the New Black Panther Party, who call themselves anti-capitalist, embrace the Afrikan social theories of socialism and nationalism among Blacks. The NBPP has chapters in Dallas, Atlanta, South Carolina, New Jersey, New York, West Virginia and Philadelphia.

QUESTION: Was Dr. Khallid Muhammad Assassinated?

Web-designer's Note: As a member of the original Black Panther Party, having joined in 1968, in filthydelphia, pa, and continuing the principles and work of the Party, i hold great respect for the resurrection of the goals, objectives and principles of the BPP by the NBPP. i had the opportunity to meet with and interact with some of the young people of the NBPP several years ago, in Atlanta, GA, where the PGRNA had it's New Afrikan Nation Day legislative sessions and Black Nation building workshops. Security was provided by the Legion, the BLA, the BPP, and the NBPP. It was wonderful to see all of the genders, generations and self defense organizaitonal structures working together for a shared objective.
