On March 22, 2003, in an address entitled "Securing Our Share in Freedom" on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C., Imam Mohammed explained—
“And we had a peculiar system of slavery that took us from our past life as African people and severed that relationship with Africa so thoroughly, that it doesn't make any practical sense really for any of us to try to continue that history in America.
It has done a terrible thing to us, certainly, by cutting us off from our past life. But G-d knows best, and G-d does not permit any injustice without Him coming to the rescue of the victims and giving them in place of what they lost that that is equal in value, and in most of the times it is in that that is greater in value.
If we will accept that G-d Almighty has been aware of our plight, of our bad circumstances and our struggle to survive and achieve for our souls and our spirit, and that G-d has been on the side of the good ones among us, then you should accept that the Black Experience – and I am not just talking about wearing the name Black – that we all share an experience in our humanity, dignity and respect for our life that G-d created, etc."
