We honor our Great Brother Dr Khalid Muhammad a Black Nationalist Leader in the United States who became a prominent figure in the Nation of Islam and later the New Black Panther Party. He was also censured by both Houses of the United States Congress. As a prominent Afro centrist and speaker on African history, Muhammad attracted interest from several hip-hop artists, who sampled him in their songs. Public Enemy quoted him in the introduction of its 1988 track Night of the Living Base heads from the album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back:
Have you forgotten that once we were brought here, we were robbed of our name, robbed of our language. We lost our religion, our culture, our god ... and many of us, by the way we act, we even lost our minds.
