Khalid Muhammad, a former spokesman for the Nation of Islam, spoke to
an audience at Howard University. Late last year, Mr. Muhammad drew
criticism for a speech he delivered at Kean College in New Jersey.
Some considered the remarks he made to be racist and anti-Semitic.
He was later criticized by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

Mr. Muhammad’s speech comes a few days after he visited the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. A separatist, Mr. Muhammad argued
that enslavement of Africans was equivalent to the Jewish holocaust
in Europe and is a black holocaust.

Before Mr. Muhammad spoke, a number of speakers prayed, sang and
spoke. Many speakers used inflammatory rhetoric. During the final
moments of the event, participants asked the audience to contribute
to the Nation of Islam.
