Deen Mohammed made the following comment regarding observing Juneteenth. "The day for observing Juneteenth is approaching. All African Americans, or Blacks in America, should know about this observance day. Our history as Americans and as Muslims had developed to unite us again with the Motherland, Africa. It is a new life we want for ourselves as descendants of Africa in America. Recently, we made a statement expressing these deep sentiments, the statement is: “A commitment to continue in the best tradition of the African American struggle for improvement on self and race.” Imam Mohammed concluded, “This is expressed in the language, “New Africa.” Juneteenth observance gives us an opportunity to publish our best sentiments and preserve this day that celebrates our Emancipation. The Emancipation process must continue until we are free spiritually as well as bodily.” PASS THE WORD -- TELL A FRIEND This program will be archived and accessible using the above link.
