Answer

Elijah Muhammad became the leader of the Nation of Islam in 1934 after Wallace Fard Muhammad, who had founded the group, mysteriously disappeared. Muhammad was a fiery preacher who spread the NOI's message of black separatism and self-reliance throughout the United States. He also promoted the idea that white people were created by an evil scientist named Yakub, and that black people were the original people of the world.
