Detroit Mayor welcomes Nation for
Saviours' Day
By Andrea Muhammad
DETROIT (FinalCall.com) - In a statement of
support for Saviours’ Day’ 07, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick said, “I look at
this [Saviours’ Day] as a homecoming.” The Nation of Islam was founded in the
city of Detroit in 1934.
While underscoring the importance of the
Nation returning to its physical roots, Mayor Kilpatrick noted that, more
importantly, it was returning to its spiritual roots.
“We [the City of Detroit] are happy to do business both economically and
spiritually with the Nation of Islam and look forward to the Nation of Islam
coming home.”
Members of the National Executive Council traveled to the city November 2 and
met with the mayor, as well as key officials to begin to iron out the logistics
for the city to host the annual convention.
