Nation of Islam

Minister Don Muhammad was remembered at a memorial service held at Morningstar Baptist Church.

Minister Don Muhammad, the decades-long leader of the Nation of Islam’s Boston headquarters and a confidant of Minister Louis Farrakhan died Tuesday. He was 87.

Randy Muhammad’s involvement with the Nation of Islam began almost by happenstance, when, as a 16-year-old, he bought a cassette tape of one of Minister Louis Farrakhan’s speeches and was Intrigued by Farrakhan’s message of self-empowerment.

On April 2, Noah R. Green, a 25-year-old resident of Virginia, drove his car into the security fencing around the U.S. Capitol, and thereby killed one security officer, William F. Evans, and injured another. According to reports, he was motivated by the Nation of Islam.
