I think they play a major role in helping to build a stronger character and foundation for the future of our young men and women. |

Absolutely, from securing rap concerts and musicians to pulling young men out of a philosophy of death into the reality of atonement. |

Based on my knowledge of all the action that the Nation of Islam has taken over the years to stop violence in the community, I would say yes. However, we all need to do a lot more! |
Melody Adams Community Organizer Boston |

Yes, they put people to work in a lot of different ways, everything from selling newspapers to working with people from the community and inside to prisons. |
Dianne Zimbabwe Artist/Educator Roxbury |

Yes, the NOI teaches people values, loving self and education. The fact that you are of value should make you function within that realm. |
