A.C. GRIGGS SCHOOL
VANDALIZED
Vandals entered A.C. Griggs
Elementary School through a
window of the principal’s
office Monday, sprayed water
throughout the main hallway
with a fire hose, and destroyed
books and other items in a
number of classrooms.
Six folding chairs were
reported missing.
whites who would give up their
children to the religion,
asserting “they are worthy of
respect.”
This was the first New York
appearance by Mr. Muhammad,
who succeeded his father,
Elijah, the leader of the group
for more than 40 years until
his recent death.
Since assuming the
leadership, Wallace Muhammad
has pros ulgated major policy
shifts, including an end to die
separatist philosophy that
previously banned whites, who
had been known as “white
devils”.
The meeting was
attended by a highly responsive
and predominantly Black
crowd of both Muslims and
non-Muslims.
And while Mr. Muhammad
emphasized Black beauty,
intelligence and morality,
many of his remarks were
directed at whites.
Toward the end of his
address, which lasted almost
three hours, Mr. Muhammad
announced that Abdul Halim
Farrakahn, former head of the
New York Mosque, would be
succeeded by Jeremiah
Shabazz, now head of the
Philadelphia Mosque.
In the first major move
within the religion since his
take-over, Mr. Muhammad
announced two weeks ago the
transfer of Minister Farrakahn,
who had been national
spokesman, to the group’s
Chicago headquarters.
While sources within the
organization said the transfer
had been made so that Minister
Farrakahn’s activities “could
be watched more closely,” Mr.
Muhammad sought to dispel
either dissension on any notion
that Mr. Farrakahn was being
demoted.
The move, he said, speaks
for the worth of the man to
the administration.” Mr.
Muhammad said. “He will be
growing brighter and brighter,
but at headquarters.”
Mr. Muhammad a low key,
almost folksy speaker - though
less so than his father - was
frequently interrupted by
applause and shouts of “Teach
on, Supreme Minister,” and
“Work us Up”.
Mr. Muhammad said that
formerly when a Muslim spoke
of the need to “destroy
whites,” it was “not the
physical body - which is a lie,
a mental falsehood.”

A 1966 graduate of T.W.

received his associate degree
from LaSalle.
