Thanksgiving and Boycotting Black Friday

an excerpt from a speech given at Mosque Maryam in Chicago, Illinois, on November 18, 2018

“Christ is not interested in your getting into a store and making already rich,rich, putting yourself into debt, for another year, to give out gifts. Come on. Jesus did not ask you to do that. . . .and don’t you ever again spend money on your children, and give the credit to a mythical Caucasian, and make your children think they got to continue to look to White people to get things that you give them with your hard sweat and blood.” — The Honorable, Minister Louis Farrakhan

November Quotes of the Month:
“ We don’t have to argue with anybody. We don’t have to curse and go around acting bad with our words. We don’t need any bricks and bottles. We don’t need any Molotov cocktails. We just need to go to these stores and these massive industries in our country, and say “God sent us here to say to you that you are not treating us right, and we’ve come by here to ask you to make the first item on your agenda, fair treatment where God’s children are concerned. Now if you are not prepared to do that, we have an agenda that we must follow, and our agenda calls for withdrawing economic support from you.” —Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

From the last speech that Dr. King gave on April 3, 1968
