NEW YORK�With shouts of "Black Power" filling the air, Khallid Abdul Muhammad made one last journey down Malcolm X Boulevard to 125th Street where hundreds said good-bye during a memorial service Feb. 24 at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church.

Dr. Muhammad, chairman of the New Black Panther Party and former aide to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, died Feb. 17 at Wellstar Kenneston Hospital in Marietta, Ga., from an aneurysm.

It was standing room only inside the church, where family, friends and supporters joined together to celebrate the life of Dr. Muhammad.

Dr. Charles Curtis, pastor of Mt. Olivet, said, "We come today to remember a son of Africa who cared enough to stand up," expressing his respect for the achievements of Dr. Muhammad.

Min. Farrakhan, in a written statement, expressed gratitude for Dr. Muhammad�s work helping to rebuild the Nation of Islam and condolences to the Muhammad family.

"It is a sad day for me as I reflect on the life of this young warrior," the statement read. "I shared with him the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and he became one of His followers."

Min. Kevin Muhammad of Muhammad Mosque No. 7 and members of the Nation of Islam also attended the funeral.

Dr. Leonard Jeffries, noted historian and professor of Black Studies at City College in Manhattan, reminded the packed church of the things that Dr. Muhammad stood for. "He leaves with us the true tradition of rebellion, revolution and resurrection," the professor said.

"He is a warrior who would not quit the battlefield," said Dr. Maulana Karenga, chairman of Us and founder of Kwaanza, who worked with Bro. Khallid in Los Angeles.

And there were those, like Warrior Woman, who spoke with passion and fire about the ongoing struggle for liberation of oppressed people. "The struggle for the people is a lifetime commitment. They can kill our leaders but they cannot kill the movement," the Native American activist said.

Viola Plummer, leader of the December 12th Movement, brought the church to its feet in her tribute, shouting: "Black Power! Black Power!"

"I stand here today because of this brother�s love for his people," she said. Looking down at his casket, which was draped in the Black nationalist red, black and green flag, Ms. Plummer said, "I will continue, brother, to do those things that we talked about."

Others who attended the memorial services included activist Sonny Carson, Queen Mother Delois Blakeley, Charles Barron, Atty. Roger Wareham and Erica Ford. All three floors of the church were filled with mourners during the three-hour service.

Dr. Muhammad, 53, was born on January 12, 1948 in Houston, Tex. He was the second of six children to Harold and Lottie Moore.

Dr. Muhammad received a scholarship to Dillard University in Louisiana. He received a degree from Pepperdine University and continued his studies at Yale, Harvard and Columbia.

Many speakers who lined up across the pulpit had come to speak of the joy of knowing Dr. Muhammad and share with the throng of supporters their special remembrances.

At Phyllis Wheatley High School, Dr. Muhammad was a member of Stagecrafters, a group of exceptional students where he developed debating and drama skills under the direction of teacher Vernell Lillie.

"The phone would ring and it would be Bro. Khallid, �hello Auntie Vern.� He always called me Aunt Vern. I remember him as a loving and compassionate man," she said.

Others who spoke were Min. Silas Muhammad, Min. Karriem Muhammad, Willie Ricks and noted historian Dr. Ben Jochannon. The celebration ceremony was emceed by Malik Zulu Shabazz, spokesman for the New Black Panther Party, and Omawali Clay of the December 12th Movement.

The funeral program listed among surviving family members Dr. Muhammad�s wife Queen Nefertari; and his children, David and mother Mattie Morris Van; Khalfani and mother Mahasin Rushiddin; and Farrakhan Khallid, Malik, Kiki, Amir, Ali and mother Khalidah Muhammad; three sisters Gloria Glenn and Cynthia Moore Kelly of Los Angeles, KaShelia Moore Jackson of Houston; brothers Frank Moore Claybourne and Darington Moore Smith of Los Angeles; and father-in-law Thomas Ambush of Cedric, Md.
