Leadership
In the late 1970s Farrakhan started up a new Nation of Islam, one that adhered to the teachings of Elijah Muhammad. He started an newspaper called The Final Call. Even In his new position Farrakhan remained outspoken on social and political issues sometimes drawing fire for his racial and religious comments.
One of Farrakhan's most significant accomplishments has been organizing the 1995 Million Man March on Washington, D.C. with Rosa Parks and other civil rights leader. People really believe that 2 million people went on this march.While many recognize the value of Nation of Islam's social and educational
programs, Farrakhan has been criticized for some of his other activities. He toured 18 nations in 1996, which included a stop in Libya. Farrakhan accepted
funds from the late Libyan leader Muammar Al Qaddafi for the Nation of Islam, but the United States government refused to let him keep the money.Farrakhan remains a polarizing figure to this day. He continues to fight oppression wherever he sees it and whether it's in the nation's educational system
government or urban communities.
