Raised in a highly-disciplined and spiritual household in Roxbury, Massachusetts, by his mother, a native of St. Kitts, Louis Eugene Walcott learned early the value of work, responsibility and intellectual development. As a boy, his mother engaged him in conversations that focused on the Black struggle, justice and equality.
As a young man, Walcott was known as “The Charmer” and he achieved fame in Boston as a vocalist, calypso singer, dancer and violinist. In February 1955, while visiting Chicago for a musical engagement, he was invited to attend the Nation of Islam's Saviours' Day convention. Although music had been his first love, within one month after joining the Nation of Islam in 1955, Minister Malcolm X told the New York Mosque , that Elijah Muhammad had said that all Muslims would have to get out of show business or get out of the Temple. Walcott, who had adopted the name Louis X as a new convert, chose to dedicate his life to the Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
Later renamed Louis Farrakhan, he has since traveled the world sharing his gospel, values and beliefs. Many of his successes have included the 1979 founded The Final Call, an internationally circulated newspaper, his 1993 book A Torchlight for America and 1995’s Million Man March.
