Minister Louis X  (now known as Minister Louis Farrakhan)  VINTAGE 45 RPM RECORD OF INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION  "I BELIEVE" [side 1] and "WITHOUT A SONG" [side 2]   was made when he was known in the Nation Of Islam as Louis X during the 1950's and 1960's; Included is an Autographed Record Sleeve Signed by Minister Farrakhan On 13 June 2008 as a Fundraiser for The Actual Facts Research & Survival ----------------------  RARE!  Collector's Item ----------------------------- 
 
This Framed, Rare, Vocal and Instrumental Collectible Record Was Pressed During The 1960's By Minister Louis X And Recorded On The SALAAM Label

 "The song 'I Believe' was origially created by Jane Froman while preparing a television show in 1952 and happened to see a letter from a serviceman in Korea.  She and her team of writers, particularly Ervin Drake who later recalled the incident, created 'I Believe' as their reply to the serviceman and to everyone seeking a way to put honest basic faith into words.  This was a "song that would give the average person hope," Drake said.  Miss Froman's performance on the show "USA Canteen"  was a great success, and the following year Frankie Laine's recording sold a million copies.  As a result, he used the music practically as a theme song.  Hit Parade analysts named 'I Believe'  the most successful song of 1953, and it won the Christophers' award as the finest inspirational tune of the year."

When you hear Minister Farrakhan sing this song, you will experience one of the most powerful surges of spiritual energy that you could imagine.  Minister Farrakhan puts His powerful spirit and gifts into the core of this musical arrangement.

BONUS!  The winning bidder will also receive an audio CD with the professionally re-formatted track "I Believe" and four other songs from Minister Farrakhan's 1960's recordings.  This CD is not for sale and only a small amount was distributed during 2008.  The CD is entitled "A Gift Of Music" copyrighted by The Actual Facts Research & Survival Center on behalf of Minister Louis Farrakhan.

The winning bidder will also receive a "Certificate Of Authenticity" from The Actual Facts Research & Survival Center which is an internationally respected faith-based advocacy and media institution.

THE FINAL CALL NEWSPAPER, JANUARY 27, 1992
NATION PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE LIFE OF IT'S EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, ABDUL WALI MUHAMMAD, March 26, 1954 - December 26, 1991
Volume 11, No. 6

There will not be many of this issue available because those that have it are not giving them up.


Abdul Wali Muhammad was born James C. Booker at the old Provident Hospital in Chicago
and is the son of famed Black journalist Simeon Booker, Jr.  He moved to Washington, C.D.,
when his father was assigned to open the Washington Bureau of Jet Magazine.

Bro Wali's dedication propelled him to the captaincy of the Fruit of Islam (F.O.I.) in Washington before his assignment in Chicago.  In Chicago, he tirelessly worked with a handful of Muslims in the basement of the home of Minister Farrakhan, typesetting the Final Call newspaper and other N.O.I. periodicals.  He assisted with the administration of the Nation of Islam, became editor of the Final Call and was given his Holy name, Abdul Wali Muhammad, in 1983 by Minister Farrakhan.  He was promoted to editor-in-chief of the newspaper in 1984.

In addition to serving as Final Call editor-in-chief, Bro Wali hosted the cable t.v. talk show,
"What's Going On".  Under Bro. Wali, the Final Call grew from a periodic journal to an influential bi-weekly with an international circulation.

The inside front page bears a letter from Minister Farrakhan on behalf of the life of Brother
Abdul Wali Muhammad.  Brother Muhammad passed away December 26, 1991; the offfical
cause of death has not been determined.  He collapsed at a health club while exercising.

This news paper is in good condition with just some yellowing and wear on a full page ends but does not obstruct the reading of the paper. It is in great condition considering it is almost 20 years old.

There is much more in the paper about Bro Abdul Wali Muhammad and great photos in this
issue along with other historical articles.

 "THE END OF THE NIGHTSTICK"
Police Brutality featuring Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge
<A DVD Presentation of COMMUNITY TV NETWORK>

This startling expose unravels a history of abuse of suspects by the Chicago police. "The End of the Nightstick" probes the case of an accused cop killer in Chicago who was tortured into confessing by the police and how community pressure eventually led to an officer's dismissal; graphic photos of torture victims.

For more than a decade, the press and authorities turned a blind eye to allegations of torture — including the use of electric shocks — until persistent grass roots organizations exerted enough pressure to prompt an official investigation, and eventually the dismissal of a ranking police commander. As victims speak out, THE END OF THE NIGHTSTICK investigates charges of institutional racism, violence and cover-up. It also tells the story of a resistance movement, as local activist groups, including the Task Force to Confront Police Violence, refuse to let testimonies of police violence remain buried.

"A disturbing exploration of institutionalized racism. It makes one wonder how much we would have heard of Rodney King if a video camera had not been there to capture his beating."—People Magazine

"It makes you think: If electrical shocks are condoned for the sleaze-balls, what happens to you on that one cold, rainy night when you find yourself in the wrong place dressed the wrong way?"—Robert Goldber, Wall Street Journal

"NIGHTSTICK casts an awfully dark cloud over a police department and mayor who defended Burge, contending to the end that he'd done nothing
wrong."—Chicago Tribune

"The point of view that emerges is that civil rights organizations must stay vigilant about police brutality because public officials are often willing to protect bad cops until they become a political liability."—Dallas Morning News
