This week’s episode of Nurah Speaks is a special tribute replay in honor of the recently departed Munir Muhammad. Brother Munir was the business manager and co-founder of CROE (Coalition for the Remembrance of Elijah Muhammad). He is also known to be the chief archivist and historian of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam.
This interview was recorded on December 9, 2017 during a film showing of the movie ‘The Nation’, written and directed by Junie Smith.
In this interview Brother Munir explains:
•how Elijah Muhammad impacted him personally
•why time dictated the establishment of CROE
•why Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam is misunderstood by many
I feel it is important to note the significant impact of the work of Brother Munir. He was a man who single handedly performed the work of many men. He was an archivist, a journalist, an investigative reporter, a facilitator, a radio host, a television host, a leading media figure, a husband, a father, a successful businessman and so much more.
On set in the CROE television studio, he interviewed prominent politicians, judges, notable civil rights figures, renowned actors and actresses, singers, song writers, community organizers, Senators and Congressman, religious leaders, celebrated authors, respected businessmen and business women. Additionally, Brother Munir interviewed leaders of other esteemed nations and offered us a global perspective on world affairs.
On my podcast, when I mention my own personal mentors who have inspired and encouraged me to begin this journey-Brother Munir was always one of my strongest supporters.
There are countless men and women who we learn little to nothing about but who have worked tirelessly to resolve issues impacting our people. Brother Munir Muhammad was one of those men whose impact has not only been national but UNIVERSAL!
I honor him. I honor his legacy. And it has been a personal privilege to know him and join him on his television shows remotely and in person on so many great occasions. He will continue to be an example to be emulated in the work for the true liberation of our people.
Enjoy this tribute replay of my interview with my mentor, big brother and friend, Munir Muhammad.
