THE FIRST RESURRECTION - THE N.O.I. 1930-1975
I completed this pencil drawing in the mid 1980s to capture changes in the leadership of the Nation of Islam from the 1930s to 1975. I had the honor of presenting Imam W. Deen (RAA) a copy of this drawing in 2003 before his transition. Imam Mohammed sparkled major changes in the N.O.I. that began in 1975 under his leadership. Copies of this print are available upon request ($15 plus shipping).

Copies of this print are available upon request, $15, plus shipping.
