For Wednesday 11/1, we’ll go to chapter 5 in (Black Religion) Maulana Karenga’s Introduction to Black Studies.
- Read pages 189-222 and the section on the Nation of Islam (232-239) only.

Also read pages 329-364 in Dr. Clarke’s Notes for an African World Revolution, “Image and Mind Control in the African World”
- Pay attention to how Dr. Clarke frames religion and religious images
