1985 "P.O.W.E.R.: People Organized and Working for Economic Rebirth" By Abdul Wali Muhammad The Final Call On October 7, 1985 The sidewalks around Madison Square Garden were transformed into a pulsating mass of men and women: young, old, professional, unemployed, students, White and poor, as thousands amassed at the Garden to hear the message of Minister Louis Farrakhan on October 7 in New York City. Billed as the last lecture of the P.O.W.E.R. (People Organized and Working for Economic Rebirth) tour in North America, the event had been the center of controversy in New York for more than a week, and the turnout of over 50,000 people proved that Minister Farrakhan had ascended to a position with Black people unmatched in Black leadership circles. Hundreds of New York Police, on foot and horseback began assembling around the Garden several hours before the doors were scheduled to open, and the scene was reminiscent of the urban battlefields, which Black communities had become during the civil rebellions of the '60s. Although police on bullhorns and the loudspeakers system of the Garden prematurely broadcast that no tickets were available, by the time the lecture began two hours late, of the 50,000 people gathered, nearly 30,000 got inside the Garden and the adjoining Felt Forum where the lecture broadcast on giant video screens. The scene at the doors to the Garden was chaotic. People pushed and shoved to ensure that they would get in. When told that they could not take cameras or tape recorders inside, people actually threw them away rather than lose a place in line. A chant of "Farrakhan, Farrakhan, Farrakhan," began and the crowds actually surged right through the doors, tearing them off the hinges. Yet, there was no fighting or arguing among the people. The common goal was to get inside to hear the message of P.O.W.E.R. At Last Forever. Joining Minister Farrakhan among an array of dignitaries were Russell Means, of the American Indian Movement and Ernie Longwalker of the Four Seasons, Kwame Ture (formerly Stokely Carmichael) of the All-African People's Revolutionary Party, Zarikat Said representing the Palestine Liberation Organization, songstress Chaka Khan, Lenora Fulani of the National Alliance Party, Queen Mother Moore, and many more representatives of the national and international community.

this is a classic video and had a tremendous impact at the time even up until the late 80s early 90s, excellently edited and well produced.

First speech I ever heard from the messiah 🙏🏽

Farrakhan called for killing Malcolm X and then publicly expressed
satisfaction after it was done. If he is not an agent of US secret
services, why wasn't he arrested and jailed for conspiracy to murder?
After all, the government did jail 3 NOI members for the actual crime, 2
of whom probably did not do it. Why not arrest him? And why, when
Malcolm's daughter was arrested for planning to assassinate Farrakhan,
did the government agree to drop charges against her ON CONDITION that
Malcolm's widow publicly embrace Farrakhan and say he did not kill
Malcolm? Farrakhan incites Black people against Jews for the same
reason Hitler did -- to make them part of a force that works against
their own interests. A deadly con job. -
I love you my brother thank for God true

Racist crackpot. Hitchens was in the audience for this, and remarked on the great groan of pleasure from the blacks that the Jews would be in god's ovens forever. That anyone would say Farrakhan was an honorable person is frankly astonishing.

Leaders such as Minister Farakhan, work tirelessly. When communities are systematically put in turmoil, especially black communities, how does one combat this. Simple, with the guidance of our leaders we take care and strengthen home, for starters.
-
I am 100% with minister Farrakhan who has thrown his blood to free the blacks, because we cannot do it by ourselves, may the most high God add more to his days amen.

I'm listening to this in 2015 and this Word still has Power

It's a fact. If they continue believing what they believe and die upon that. Then the hellfire is more than a oven but they will be there for all eternity.

30 years later, what kind of progress has been made?
-
Great
-
Can anyone tell me at what point this religious nutbag exclaims "don't you forget Jews, when God puts you in the ovens, it's forever"?
-
This logic is no more an argument than mustard forming before ketchup and that ketchup is actually mustard lol
