Louis Farrakhan

Louis Farrakhan has been played on NTS shows including Jazzman, with Benefit Of Unity first played on 1 December 2016.

Louis Farrakhan Sr. (/ˈfɑːrəkɑːn/; born Louis Eugene Walcott, May 11, 1933), formerly known as Louis X, is an American religious leader and political activist who heads the Nation of Islam (NOI). Earlier in his career, he served as the minister of mosques in Boston and Harlem and was appointed National Representative of the Nation of Islam by former NOI leader Elijah Muhammad.

After Warith Deen Mohammed reorganized the original NOI into the orthodox Sunni Islamic group American Society of Muslims, Farrakhan began to rebuild the NOI as "Final Call". In 1981, he officially adopted the name "Nation of Islam", reviving the group and establishing its headquarters at Mosque Maryam.

The Nation of Islam is an organization which the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) describes as black nationalist and a hate group.[3] Farrakhan has been described as antisemitic by the Southern Poverty Law Center, Anti-Defamation League (ADL), and other monitoring organizations. Also according to the SPLC, the NOI promotes a "fundamentally anti-white theology" amounting to an "innate black superiority over whites". Some of his remarks have been considered homophobic. Farrakhan has disputed such assertions on many occasions including the SPLC characterizations. He was banned from Facebook in 2019 along with other public figures considered to be extremists.

In October 1995, he organized and led the Million Man March in Washington, D.C. Due to health issues, he reduced his responsibilities with the NOI in 2007. However, Farrakhan has continued to deliver sermons and speak at NOI events.[4] In 2015, he led the 20th Anniversary of the Million Man March: Justice or Else.
