This is an incredible opportunity to own four pages of Muhammad Ali's deepest personal thoughts, written across four pages of 8.5 x 13" lined paper. He covers controversial racial topics such as Islam, the white man & the enslavement of the black populace! Most likely never intended for public consumption, the script shows a man struggling to accept his place in American society and fiercely loyal to the religion of Islam and the leader of the Nation of Islam, Elijah Muhammad. Until recently the notes remained in the possession of Ali's second wife, Khalilah Camacho Ali (born Belinda Boyd). With frequent references to slavery and the abuse of the "so called American Negro" by the white man, the text uses highly confrontational language and shows just how passionately Ali held anti-establishment views during the mid to late 1960's. He goes on to discuss the white man's fear of the Muslim and their desperate attempts to keep them disunited and enslaved. A truly historical and significant snapshot into the mind of Muhammad Ali during his sworn allegiance to the Nation of Islam. Be sure to check out the full, provocative transcript below. The notes come with a full letter of authenticity from JSA. Please note that there are multiple spelling mistakes throughout that we have corrected for the sake of the transcript. There were also 4/5 words that were indecipherable to us - in those instances we inserted the language we thought most likely intended by Ali. With the exception of the first paragraph on page one - which is written in pencil - the entire text is penned in black ballpoint pen.

We want you to know THEM the preachers of freedom Justice and Equality to the American so called Negro, who was Brought here 400 years ago and have served as slaves and servants for 400 years without freedom justice and Equality, and this preaching’s of freedom justice and Equality has caused much to be said other than the truth amongst the truth, for one to speak of truth and justice for the poor American so called Negro be becomes the number one enemies of America. Both White and Black. If one teaches this as the truth to the so called Negro, America points him out as her no. one Enemy. The White face makes it appear that this truth that THEM is teaching is hate or called hate. While the World knows it is the truth, it is easy for the White man to call the truth hate – because it shows up his falsehood. And falsehood never likes the truth, any more than darkness love light. For truth dispels falsehood as light dispels darkness. For the sake of the so called Negro who were brought here and made slaves and have not been given freedom, justice and equality and allowed to have equal opportunity. To use the so called Negro according to the words of the prophets, who predicted that the truth would come to us thousands of years ago. Now we must have the truth. God almighty himself is behind this truth. God almighty himself has brought the truth to me the so called America Negro.

God has said that we are not Negroes. He has said that we were last members of the Asian nation. From a tribe called SHABAZZ. And that we have been deprived of the knowledge of ourselves and the knowledge of our own people and the knowledge of those who have subjected us. And the knowledge of he, god himself. And god has given the Hon. E Muhammad our true religion, which will give us freedom, justice and equality to enemy believer.  And this is the religion of Islam. And the White man has rejected it and he still rejects it – But he used it in secret societies. But he has not taught the so called American Negro this religion, nor did they teach us his own religion Christianity while we severed him 300 years of our slavery. And the slave master refused to his slave to church with him or represent a God to him other than himself. For 300 years the White man is doing everything to keep the Negro in his Christianity – and doing everything to keep him out of the religion of Islam, for Islam is the true Religion of god. It is a religion of entire subjugation to the will of God. Whose proper name is Allah. It is a religion that accepts everyone who believes as brothers. Not in words but in deeds. I know that is the truth because I have been all over the Islamic world and I have been all over the Islamic world and I have been received as a brother to and of all Muslims.

From the least to the greatest and from the greater to the least I was accepted as a brother. Many will say that we are not accepted by the farm Muslims of the east, well we want you to know that THEM is all they talk about in the Muslims Countries I know because I was there. No Brother Muslims will say anything against another Brother Muslim, Especially In the presence of an enemy of Islam, and for the sake of that enemy. The White man don’t want us in unity. They want to destroy the little group called Muslims. Who has accepted Islam and has united into a Brotherhood. Destroy them, they don’t want the Negro to be united force. This is the thing that the slave Master have ever been watchful to try from every happening in America among the Negro. And that is to allow them to agree as brothers and to unify themselves into one body. He has forever prevented us from been in unity or enjoying peace and unity as brothers. Therefore he has divided one so called Negro against the other, and making it awful double hard for any man to try to bring unity or unite this people together because he works day and night to keep them apart.

And now they see THEM teaching bringing us together, and they say that he is causing trouble when he has nothing to cause trouble with unless it is the truth. And everywhere there is trouble with our people they try to make it appear that Elijah is the cause of it. They want to label us with peace breaking and trouble making. And aggressive people – while we are walking around as humble sheep in the midst of wolves and lions & leopards with no weapons in our hand or pocket and we are not even allowed to carry it. But yet they are some wicked minded hateful persons that don’t like the truth to be taught in their mist. And hating the unity of the American so called Negro. Are now trying to build up every event against us to charge us with an aggressive group as preparing for war against the white man. This is lies. And a bold lie that they are trying to make against us. We are making them out as a lie by our peaceful moving around right here in their midst. But yet all of this is for what to scare the so called American Negro from coming to the truth and from following Elijah. They know that if after them, they know that god wants the Negro to be free, everything that they can do to oppose it they will try to do it.
