This is the first mention I've seen of the Moorish Science Temple of America. Anyone know more about them?

Never heard of the Moorish Temple, but it sounds similar to the Black Coptic church which was common in my area in the 60's. This religion was based on Ethiopian history. Followers learned Amharic ( an Ethiopian language). The religion never got much traction in NYC, but it is practiced today in Chicago. I think it is/was an attempt by some black people to shape an identity that was/is unique to their experience. I am all for people seeking to claim dignity in their lives. I just do not condone murdering police officers, ever. jmo
