Muhammad Speaks

Muhammad Speaks was a Black Muslim newspaper published in the United States.^[1] It was one of the most widely read newspapers ever produced by an African American organization.^[2] It was the official newspaper of the Nation of Islam from 1960 to 1975, founded by a group of Elijah Muhammad's ministers, including Malcolm X.^[3]

After Elijah Muhammad's death in 1975, it was renamed several times after Warith Deen Mohammed moved the Nation of Islam into mainstream Sunni Islam, culminating in The Muslim Journal.^[3] A number of rival journals were also published, including The Final Call under Louis Farrakhan, claiming to continue the message of the original.^[4]
