Malachi York
Founder of the Nuwaubians
With a spiritualiy that is mainly
Kamitik, but also having beliefs from other religions,
|
the Nuwaubians
have taken auto-determinations to the next level by building
a commpound in 1993, designed like in Kemet,
with about a hundred people living in it... |
Following lenghty legal battles,
the compound was sold by the american government then destroyed
in June 2005.
  
Malachi York was arrested in May of 2002, charged with over 100
counts of child molestation and other charges, he was convicted
in 2004 and sentenced to 135 years in prison.
One article on the official website
alledges that York is innocent and that his own son is responsible
for the molesting charges.
Probably one of the strongest
religious influence was the Moorish
Science Temple of America founded by Timothy
Drew
According to some, Wallace
Fard Muhammad (founder of the Nation
de l'Islam & teacher of Elijah
Muhammad),
was involved in this movement, there is indeed some similarities
in the teachings of the MSTA and the NOI.
