About the Moorish National Republic
The Moorish Science Temple was founded in Newark, New Jersey in the year 1913 AD by the Prophet Noble Drew Ali.
In the year 1926 AD the movement was reestablished in Chicago, Illinois as "The Moorish Temple of Science". It is registered as a legally chartered, non-profit organization under File number 13597 by the Secretary of State, Louis L. Emerson, of Springfield, Illinois on November 29, 1926. In conjunction with the registration, a document was signed by the Directors of Control and Management.
By 1928, some fifteen years later, our organization had changed its nonprofit corporate status to a profitable corporation and refocused itself as a national organization expanding to establish temples in fifteen states. Focused now as a national movement, the missionary work of Prophet Noble Drew Ali rapidly expanded to the teaching of the true nationality to all persons of Moorish descent who were otherwise known as Negroes, Blacks or colored persons and the implementation and execution of procedures for the naturalization of such persons.
In 1940, the Moorish National Bureau of Vital Statistics was lawfully established with the Federal Government (Copy Book 5-21, File#5-39 National Archives) under the authority of the Moorish Science Temple of America by Prophet Noble Drew Ali, for the official purpose of registering all Naturalized Moors.
In our infancy, the organization was and continues to be totally committed to the lawful fact that the nationality of our people is their foundation. Perpetuation by the Moorish Science Temple of America for the naturalization of those persons of Moorish descent has been in accordance with the true policies of Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson and Prophet Noble Drew Ali with the organization's critical and most noted stand on human rights to Moorish descendants which have continued in practice today, to be denied and to be recognized in these United States as Law.
On September 25, 1975, the Moorish Science Temple of America was Incorporated in the State of Maryland to conduct business and more explicitly, bring about the nationalization of all lands and finance compensation and reparations that are due under the ownership of the Moorish-American Nation, making the United States Government responsible for its operation.
We are lawfully registered and recognized as the only National Divine Movement authorized with lawful rights to redeem Moorish descendants in the Americas. Our corporation's work has been and will continue to be based on the principles of Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom and Justice. As a corporate body, we have not nor intend to cause confusion or act radically towards the established government.
Thus, to achieve our purpose, in June 1997 we established in Baltimore, Maryland the Moorish-American National Republic to conduct business and bring about the nationalization of all lands, finance, compensation and reparations.
The Moorish-American National Republic, will remain headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, and has established the Bureau of Moorish Affairs to be located in Washington, D.C. with an area office to be located in each state in which business must be conducted by and for Moorish-Americans, etc. The Bureau of Moorish Affairs will have the full authority to work through and with the Governor of the State (as well as any and all state agencies) and the Federal Government to fulfill the Mandate of the Moorish-American National Republic.
