In this WSB newsfilm clip from March 6, 1967 reporter Gene Greneker interviews Hulon Shah of the Nation of Islam following the arrest and police beating of five members of the Nation of Islam in Atlanta, Georgia. The clip contains several breaks; statements may not be completely recorded. The clip begins with the camera focusing on Hulon Shah, an African American man in a suit, bow tie, and a small, round, brimless cap with the initials F.O.I. on it. The initials on the cap, also known as a kufi, stand for "Fruit of Islam," the wing of the Nation of Islam responsible for security. On either side of Shah stand African American men in suits and bow ties; one of the men on the left wears sunglasses. Shaw reports that after the five members of the Nation of Islam were arrested and brought to the police station for processing, he arrived at 11:30 pm with one hundred dollars bond for each of the men and was told they would be released in another hour. When Shah and those with him returned at 12:15, the police informed him the men had attacked the police and were now being held on ten thousand five hundred dollars bond each. Shah indicates that after he spoke with the men in police custody, the men reported being beaten "viciously and inhumanly, kicked about the body, kicked in the ribs, and beaten about the head."

Reporter Greneker adjusts some cords, and the camera focuses on several African American men standing together. Greneker speaks with a man off-screen and then asks Shah to repeat his story of the previous night's events. Shah claims the men were illegally arrested for defending themselves and threatened by police that they "would not be able to live through tonight." The officers beat the incarcerated men with "crowbars, sledge hammers, and hacksaws." Greneker mentions that the police allege they were attacked by the men; Shah asserts that members of the Nation of Islam are only taught to defend themselves and that they are "a people of peace."

The clip breaks for a moment and the camera focuses on the African American men; the man in sunglasses wears a fedora and the man to the right of Shah wears what appears to be a knit cap. Asked the plan of action, Shah reports that they have filed a formal complaint with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United States Department of Justice. He also discloses that the Nation of Islam will be in court with their attorneys. Greneker then asks several questions to splice into edited footage later; neither Shah nor the men with him respond to these questions. Finally Greneker asks if Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) head Stokely Carmichael has ever sold the Nation of Islam newspaper. Shah replies that he believes Carmichael, a subscriber, has circulated the newspaper among friends although he has not formally sold the newspapers.

On March 5, 1967 five men from the Nation of Islam were arrested after they allegedly argued with two African American men while selling the newspaper of the Nation of Islam. The men also allegedly attacked the police officers who responded to the disturbance and other policemen during the booking process at the police station. Charged with "assault with attempt to murder" the policemen, the bond for the men was raised from one hundred dollars to ten thousand five hundred dollars. Hulon Shah, leader of the Mohammad Mosque number fifteen in Atlanta later renounced the Nation of Islam and started the Nation of Yahweh cult in Miami, Florida before spending ten years in jail for conspiracy.

Muslim, Isrealite but nobody want to be Afrikan! If islam is for the blackman then why are arabs & arabized negros killing Afrikans in Sudan & Darfur & the Afrikans are black & muslim? Thats why I left islam alone after 15 years of being a muslim because no one in the NOI stands up against the arabs to defend the Afrikan muslim being slaughtered in the name of allah! That very well could be us getting slaughtered! Sorry brothas but refuse to stand with my enemy while my people are being killed

Muslim means only followers of Mohammad. brother if that is your choice of religion then so be it but you are still a Hebrew Israelite, no so for Mohammad Addulah the prophet, he was a hebrew but he was an Ishmaelites distance grand son of Ishmael son of Abraham the Hebrew. and that is his nationality.... peace I am Hebrew and God, Allah is Yahweh. and his son is YAHWEH BEN Yahweh as well. but you are still young in the knowledge keep studying everything with our pre-judging first, REAd Hist.

Islaam is for the Blackman! Our Nature is Muslim!!!

[memalephyudth]

i meant to say they left us nation less, we where a people without a national Identity until YAHWEH BEN YAHWEH was choosing by the Father Yahweh to restore that which was taking from us, Our Glory, which is our last names and now in the new high school ancient History books the Zionist, Edomite converts have place Judism in as a nation. look at your children history books, yes Hebrew Is out and Judism is in as a Nation instead of a religion for what it is. the next thing it will be Islam.

[memalephyudth]

if you take an Arab name it is still not your truth. because when you look the name up it will take you to Arabia and we are not Ishmaelites, we the so-called black people are Israelites, children of Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Judah the fourth son of Jacob Gen.49:8, Deut.28:68, Jer. 8:21,Jer.14:1-2, lam.4:8, lam4:7 Nazarites the so-called Albino, anybody with any common sense knows that albino is short for albania which are Europeans not black people without Melanin in their skin.

man that was in the days of Malcom X , who give Islam the lift it needed to pull Black people out of the mud of christian into the polish of the hot desert sands, but it was just more false hope, to uplift other nations and leave the black people nationlist. until God Chosed Yahweh Ben Yahweh to take up the sword of pure Truth. everybeing on this earth will have to travel a distance to get back to the state of Heaven and Yahweh Ben Yahweh did just that. X mean unknown last name until YBY came
