The biggest contributor to the scarcity of footwear in Africa is economic underdevelopment. The financial opportunities for employment are nonexistent for many families, and shoes appear to be a non-essential when stacked against food and basic needs. Surprisingly, Kwame the teacher stated that “even if families are able to afford shoes they frequently only have one pair—they save wearing them for special occasions, such as church” (Conti). He also pointed out that in some areas, wearing a commodity such as shoes serves as an invitation to be harassed or even robbed.

I hope you enjoy my essay on Wesley Isenhour.

Do you believe that Master Fard Muhammad is Allah in person? While Other religions say that God is not a man, so Master Fard Muhammad cannot be Allah in person, the Nation of Islam believes that Master Fard Muhammad is Allah in person. I do believe that Master Fard Muhammad is Allah in person, and most people doubt it and ask what evidence do we have to prove that, but despite what other people say I do believe that there is reasonable evidence to prove that because He had gained 10,000 followers alone in Black Bottom, Detroit, He took a man named Elijah Poole, who only had a third grade education, and taught him for three years, a knowledge that was so powerful, and He came to North America by himself to raise his father's people.

On October 7th, 1897, The Nation of Islam gained a new visionary with great talents. Elijah Muhammad is considered to be one of the most religious African American leaders to guide groups of converted muslims to fight for their beliefs. Little did he know, Muhammad would go face to face with a man who would impact his life through the religion and use his teachings to put wisdom through the black community. His life and stories have truly inspired many civil right activists and his name has also been mentioned in this category. Elijah Muhammad has shown incredible acts of leadership through leading a large group of Muslims and himself to find true peace for the rest of the black community, who were suffering from white supremacy.

Americans will always find a way to help others, wether this is in serving our country through military, government, or research to help better ourselves. I believe that through encouragement, not force, we can raise the public service rates in our country.

“We’re here?” I question, seeing a large trading town a mile away. We’ve traveled 500 miles in one month by the way. Mansa Musa replies, “Yes.” “I’ve heard of this town, it’s an Oasis town.” adds the muslim scholar. We are in silence for the short mile, and once we reach the town the camels stop, having reached their 100-mile limit for the day. The town is bustling with trading activities, I smell fruit, meat, salt, and smoke from the cooking around the trading stalls. My mouth is watering, for we have only been eating bread for the whole trip whilst the Mansa has been feasting. I pull a gold coin I packed for my trip and go to trade for a couple of apples. I ask for apples and the trader gives me five apples, split into halves, and I hand
adventure. I’ve been there with him through thick and thin but that was until he was taken away by the police on to the cattle cars. We didn't know where we were going but ended up in a place called a concentration camp. This adventure was not an exciting one but I saw soldiers separating John from his parents and eventually they separated me from John. I was thrown away with all these other shoes who also led their owners to a strange “shower” that was rumored to have led them to no longer be with us anymore. All of the shoes that have been thrown away feel the same pain and we wait for our owners to come back so we can be reunited.
