Nation Of Islam Member Speaks At UNCG B> DAVID L DILLARD C hronu If Slaff W'rWer ? As a small group of whites protested outside the University of North Carolina at Greensboro's Aycock Auditorium last Thursday. Khallid Abdul Muham mad. a former national assistant to Minister Louis Farrakhan. told a crowd of nearly 1.000 people that there is no split in the Nation of Islam. Muhammad, a^former professor at California State-Fullenon. said he is "on trial" and that outside forces are trying to split him from Farrakhan ? as Malcolm X was split from Elijah Muhammad 30 years ago. There is no split or division in the Nation of Islam, he told a cheering audience of mostly black students. "1 am a soldier and I follow divine com mand. . . . There is no Malcolm X without Elijah Muhammad and no Khallid without Farrakhan. Make no mistake about it." Farrakhan demoted Khallid Muhammad recently for statements he made at Kean College in New Jer sey last November, during which he referred to the pope as a no-good cracker." As the national assistant. Muhammad was the number two man in the Nation of Islam. He is still a / member of the Nation. Muhammad, a former high-school football star in Houston, turned dow n several athleticf scholarships and accepted an academic scholar hip taDillard Uni versitv ? a Methodist school in New Orleans ? ' _ ? $ w here he met Farrakhan in 1967. He later attended UCLA. Harvard and the St. Stephens Theological School. He holds a doctorate degree in social psychology. More than 20 students from area colleges, including N.C. A&T. Winston-Sale n State Univer sity. St. Augustine, UNCG and UNC-Chapel Hill, spoke for nearly 30 minutes in support of Muham mad and their right to bring speakers of their choice on campus. . Samuel D. Webb, a senior at UNCG. defied the school's decision not to support Muhammad's lecture and financed the event solely. "Everybody said no. but I didn't say no. And I was not alone." Webb said. "We do not stand alone. And it's (the event) on." Webb. 28. who plans to attend law school next year, would not disclose the cost of the lecture, but said that he spent significantly less than the S8.000 that had been reported. A fund, raiser was held to help cover expenses after the lecture. Muhammad, showing that he could conform to the "spirit of Islam, toned down his fiery speech, but kept the charisma that has made him controversial. "1 didn t come to North Carolina to tip-toe through the tulips." Muhammad said. "I didn't come here to teach students to hate white people. I came here to teach vou to love vour black self." * But some were not impressed. Sui Shapiro, a professor at UNCG s education department, was among nearly 60 protestors who gathered outside Aycock Auditorium around 6:30 p.m. to v o ice their opposition to Muhammad's appearance. . ? i "We decided to protest because of the comments he made in New Jersey." Shapiro said. "People have the right to come and here him, but we want people to*Rnow that we're deeply offended by the racism and Khallid Abdul Muhammad anti-semitic views that (Muhammad) has." Muhammad said that Muslims don't protest out- ! side of Jewish synogogs and insisted that the Nation of Islam is not racist nor antisemitic. He said blacks just want to be free from white rule. j ,1 "We don't want to enslave white people, we just > want to be left alone so we can rule and govern our together." ?; ' Muhammad ended by telling black students to C get an education that would prepare them for the 21st . century and to love and respect each other. Minister Arrested for Refusing to Leave from page A1 "This is a disgrace to the black community." said Rodney King, a former member of the church. On Tuesday morning. Kennedy called the Chronicle and said. "We need to use this news medium as an opportunity, to produce a healing at Antioch Christian Church. If that group would like to set a date and time I am almost certain that the members orihe"church would agree toT meetingT" This congregation must come together and decide what direction the church wants to go." The Petition Statement." that Cooper and other Kennedy opponents initiated in the summer of 1992. list the following reasons for Kennedy's dismissal: dismantled the deacon board; tion without the church's permission: changing church officers without the church's permission; and misusing church money. Cooper and four other church members inter viewed at King's home off Carver School Road ear lier this week, said that Kennedy was hired in Febru ary 1992 after the congregation had auditioned several ministers for the job. Kennedy's predecessor. the Re\. Garther Roland, retired after more than 25 years of service with the church. Among Kennedy s-first changes was substituting grape juice' for wine to be used during Communion. Then. Cooper said. Kennedy got rid of all the dea cons and installed his own crew of advisors. Besides the four deacons. Kenned) also got rid of the church's single elder and its three trustees. She and the other out: changing church constjtu ^members claim that Kennedy also asked for the deed to the church, which is paid for. Cooper said that after 4-6 months, members of the church became dissatisfied with Kennedy's tenure. "It was just like being in the Army - he was the commander in charge," Cooper said. Cooper said that after the first petition, which they got most of the members to sign, Kennedy sent her a letter that said she was no longer a member of the church. Francis Spencer, the church secretary and a Kennedy supporter, said she sent the letter "because (Cooper)was very disruptive." She accused Cooper of - talking out loud during prayer. 7 r - ? ? "He's another Jim Jones," said George Mitchell. one of the few original members who had a say in church affairs. Church members said that on the advice of coun sel. they later put together a second petition of 47 names, all of which were individually notarized. At a meeting after Sunday services last Septem ber. the congregation voted 27*2 to oust Kennedy. Spencer, the Kennedy supporter, said that the vote was illegal because it was not part of the meet r-ing's agenda. She said that such a vote requires that members be notified by letter or phone a month in advance. She also said that most of the 27 people who voted against Kennedy were not active members pf the church. Spencer, who has been a member of Antioch since 1962. said that it was true that Kennedy and his ?? supporters transferred the church's bank account to another account in the names of Kennedy supporters. * But she said Kennedy had no choice because Mitchell and the church's chairman, Isaiah Chandler, had previously blocked the account and checks were bouncing. After the vote ousting Kennedy and the support -* from the Minister's Fellowship. Kennedy continued his pastorat duties. Church members filed several - documents with the courts last December and a judge ruled in their favor in forbidding Kennedy from com* . ing within 100 yards of the church or participating in <! church activities. ? Poliee Gapt. Michael McCoy said Kennedy was ? arrested on Feb. 13, a Sunday, and charged with ires- ? passing; McCoy said that both sides of the dispute Z had contacted him and had expressed fear that some- * thing criminal might occur during a Sunday service. * Officers have been ordered to patrol the area around * the church as a deterrent. McCoy said. * "If it's (the vofing/l is done in a legitimate leyal ^ way," Spencer said she would have no problem with ~ Kennedy being removed. "We're willing to.be gov- * emed by that." - not having checked more closely into his back-;, ground. "The main thing is that Charles Kennedy is rot *?', pastor of Antioch Christian Church." said Cooper Mitch Capel, aka "Gran' Daddy Jurtebug" Gran' Daddy from page A 1 because he said a lot of it addresses present issues. good morals and race relations ? issues that are still prevalent today," he said. "However, I still write to keep ^therrrup to the present andnot lead ing my audience in the 1800s." Capel said he will give the audience positive messages Satur day while keeping them entertained.
