WHEREAS: The Hon. Elijah Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah has instilled the strength of pride in self and race in thousands of people; and
WHEREAS: The teachings of the Hon. Elijah Muhammad have guided many Black people whom society would have normally called lost and has shown them the way to lead a fruitful life; and
WHEREAS: The Nation of Islam, under the direction and spiritual leadership of the Hon. Elijah Muhammad, has embarked on a successful campaign to provide health and education services to thousands of Black citizens who might otherwise have not had their needs met; and
WHEREAS: The Nation of Islam, inspired by The Hon. Elijah Muhammad, has established small businesses, larger businesses, banks, international imports and international diplomatic relations; and
WHEREAS: The tenants of human behavior and respect for human dignity, established in the Nation of Islam by the Hon. Elijah Muhammad, undoubtedly project even greater growth in the areas of spiritual, social and economic advancement for the Black people he has united.
NOW, THEREFORE, I KENNETH A. GIBSON, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, do hereby proclaim the week of February 3rd. through 9th, 1975 as
