Muhammad:
An example of Black womanhood
In the 1930s and '40s, few
Black women ventured off the path dictated by their first slave master's
children. The behavior, conduct and demeanor of Black women was
more than predictable. And then out of the wilderness of North America
came Mother Clara Muhammad, the late wife of the Honorable Elijah
Muhammad, and together they established the Nation of Islam in America.
