The Fractured Legacy: How Power Struggles Divided the Moorish Science Temple
Manage episode 474857488 series 3511196
What happens when a movement splinters after losing its founder? In this raw, unflinching episode, we dive deep into the century-old power struggle that fractured Noble Drew Ali's Moorish Science Temple of America following his suspicious death in 1929.
Brother Kujo joins hosts Mikey Fever and Ron Brown to present compelling historical evidence about the contentious leadership battle between C. Kirkman Bey and Mealy El. Using rare photographs, court documents, and letters from the Muqarrabin files, Kujo builds a case that Kirkman Bay may have strategically positioned himself for leadership despite evidence suggesting Millie El was the legitimate successor.
The conversation examines specific violations of Noble Drew Ali's teachings, including Kirkman Bay's use of a marked fez with "Sultan" inscribed on it—directly contradicting the prophet's oral instructions. We explore how court battles ensued between factions, with documents indicating courts actually ruled in Mealy El's favor, though Kirkman Bay's faction continued as though this ruling never happened.
The episode concludes with thoughtful proposals for healing this division, from democratic elections to public debates, while acknowledging the difficult reality that ego and attachment to titles present major obstacles to Moorish unity. This conversation isn't about attacking any particular group but rather seeking truth and a path forward that honors Noble Drew Ali's original vision of unification.
