Abstract:
The author details many examples of egregious expressions of hatred and antisemitism from the Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan, as well as his spokesman and affiliates. Farrakhan can draw large numbers to his events, the author asserts, but for black leaders who aspire to mainstream leadership, Farrakhan is feared as a "kiss of political death."
