BOOKS OF THE MOST HONORABLE ELIJAH MUHAMMMAD
New York Ricans from the Hip Hop Zone is the first book to explore Puerto Ricans'
participation in the development of Hip Hop culture- from the beginning- to the
present. Using hip hop culture as a focal point, Rivera draws parallels-past and
present-between African Americans and Puerto Ricans by highlighting their shared
New York City history and their both being part of the African Diaspora in the
Americas. ***** Raquel has done the unthinkable-she has triumphed in creating what
hip hop DJs normally call a remix. She has remixed history and shed light on a
valuable coexistence that is normally shunned by the media-namely, Boriquas
represent." -BOBBITO GARCIA, DJ Cucumberslice "Big Pun, Fat Joe, Angie Martinez,
La Bruja and many other Puerto Rican rappers speak out here in full voice, and the
result is the most authoritative and exciting account of the Nuyorican role in hip
hop to date." -JUAN FLORES, author of From Bomba to Hip Hop: Puerto Rican Culture
and Latino Identity "Raquel untangles this wildly woven fabric called hip hop and
uncovers the unbreakable strands of Puerto Ricans that have been in all the
elements of hip hop since day one. Clap your hands everybody!!!" -CHARLIE CHASE,
pioneering DJ and MC, Cold Crush Brothers "Its about time that a book has come out
showing the contribution Puerto Ricans have made to the hip hop movement." -JAMEL
SHABAZZ, photographer, Back in the Days "A much-needed examination of New York
Puerto Ricans' essential contributions to and continued vitality in the hip hop
universe. Rivera's edgy mix of academic research and inner-
circle interviews help redefine the way we look at urban street culture." -ED
MORALES, author, Living in Spanglish "Smart and provocative, New York Ricans from
the Hip Hop Zone is written with clarity and style by someone who knows both hip
hop and Puerto Rican culture from the inside out. Not only a must read, it's a
great read." -DEBORAH PACINI HERNANDEZ, Tufts University

The Masonic Order is one of the most powerful Fraternal Orders in the world. Have
you ever wondered why?
Why did this order restrict membership to men of European descent? In this book
Zachary Gremillion, Founder of the Imperial Society answers the following
questions: What do these fraternal orders of Masonry have to do with African
people? How did this order originate in Europe, and why were Black men in early
America not allowed into membership until the coming of Right Worshipful Master
Prince Hall, a colonial Blackman? Who are the Knights Templar? What was their
relationship to the African Arabs/Moors also called Saracens? What did the Knights
Templar find in Israel? Why were they at Jerusalem Temple built by African
Hebrews? In this book Zachary P. Gremillion, a Master Mason, Thirtysecond degree
Mason and Shriner deals with the true origin of Masonry in Africa. Through intense
research he traced what he calls the Proto-Masonic order to ancient Africa. He
also deals with the Knights Templar and the Afro-Asiatic knowledge they found at
Jerusalem Temple then to be executed, persecuted, and destroyed by
the King and Pope. Prince Hall, Marcus Garvey, Noble Drew Ali and Elijah Muhammad
are also addressed. About the Author
Zachary P. Gremillion was initiated, passed and raised to the degree of Master
Mason in O.J. Dunn Lodge #85. He also passed through both York and Scottish Rite
Bodies of Prince Hall Freemasonary. Upon studying the teachings of Noble Drew Ali
and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad among many, Mr. Gremillion discovered the
original roots of the Masonic order came from Ancient Africa Civilizations. He
then began intense research into the philosophy and history of the Masonic order.
Upon reading the works of Albert Churchward and Valentia Straiton whom were
Europeans, Mr. Gremillion became convinced that a conspiracy hide the history and
legacy of the Children of Ham existed. He then founded the Ancient Grand Lodge of
Khamet which evolved into the Imperial Society based upon the resurrection of the
Ancient Cushite Empire of
Ethiopians. He is a loving father and husband, and he encourages anyone to contact
him and aid in this mission. Free Preview
Many Masonic authors have done great and extensive research about their
fraternity, yet they cannot find a positive origin for their practices. Others
deny the antiquity of Masonry and try to connect it with the medieval stonemasons.
Many Freemasons know that their society originated not only with the building of
King Solomons temple, but also with the Africoid people of Africa and the Middle
East. They avoid the subject of Ancient African Freemasons altogether. There was a
time in America when Black Freemasons who received their Masonic Degrees from
Prince Hall jurisdiction would not even be accepted by White Masons as true Masons
and brothers and even to this day many White Masons will not open up their lodges
to black men.
Are they racist or do they know that the men and women that are discriminated
against are the true Masons and Eastern Stars and also the true Shriners and
Daughters of Isis? In some cases the answer is yes, and the true history of the
ancient African society is bottled up in the symbols of the lodges ant the
literature of its libraries. Freemasons and non-Freemasons both black and white
have held these ideas. Elijah Muhammad, Noble Drew Ali, Martin R. Delany, Albert
Churchward, Frank C. Higgins, Godfrey Higgins, George G.M. James, Yosef A.A. Ben-
Jochannan, and John Jackson all knew Freemasonry originated in Africa in some form
or another The term Free Mason has many explanations. Some say that it came from
the medieval stonemasons. It is stated that they were to travel the land to work
their trade free from interference of landlords who desired to stop serfs from
leaving the land. Some say that it came from the Roman Collegia
of Artificers. Others maintain that the word was invented shortly before the
establishment of a grand lodge system in the Seventeen hundreds. The above
statements are partially true, and many Masonic authors have left out the
pertinent information of a more ancient origin. Mr. John G. Jackson (1972) in Man,
God, and Civilization researched the ancient philosophies that were practiced by
our ancestors. He even studied some Masonic Sources. He stated that the term Free
Mason was traced back to the ancient Khametic empire (Egypt). It comes from a
combination of two Khametic words Phre (the sun) and Mas (a child) meaning
children of the sun and/or sons of ight (John Jackson, 1972). These two words
combine to make the word Freemason. The term originated in Egypt and proves that
the first Freemasons were ancient Africans (called black people in modern racial
terms). It also shows that the order originated in Africa. Frank C. Higgins also
defines Freemason the
same as above, and he has it as Phre-Messen (from Egypt) (Higgins, 1923) As every
Master Mason knows great emphasis is place upon the east. This is the direction in
which the sun rises. And all Freemasons deal with traveling East. A Freemason is
supposed to be an adept or master of the ancient esoteric knowledge of the arts
sciences, mathematics and other great aspects of learning of the old world.
Freemasons have kept the ancient knowledge and ceremonies alive within their
lodges. The lodges are places where masons meet, and they (lodges) are filled with
symbolism and are symbolic of the mystery schools of the African and African-
Asiatic peoples. One scholarly Freemason named Albert Churchward, a 30th degree
Freemason at the time of his writings wrote extensively about Freemasonry and its
African origin. We do not agree with all of Albert Chruchward theories, but we
admire Mr. Churchward. He was honorable enough to reveal that the order of
Freemasonry originated among Blacks in Africa. Through his
extensive research in anthropology and Freemasonry, Churchward proved that the
socalled Negro was the original man (called Primary man). Even though Churchward
was a Caucasian, he exposed the truth to Freemasons and others about origins of
light (knowledge) and life upon the continent of Africa. I suggest that all
Freemasons and specifically Prince Hall Masons read Chruchward work. Note: His
book were written in the early 1900s therefore a few facts may be displaced,
vague, or obscure because Churchward did not have access to the same technology
that we have today. However, inspite of the lack of information Churchward over
came great limitations of time along with the criticism of his works. Churchward
(1903) separated the dispensation of time into three distinct parts. These parts
Churchward called the stellar, lunar, and solar mythos and through these time
periods ancient Freemasonry developed. Churchward research
also reveals that the origin of the mythos (religious doctrine) and Masonry came
from early Africans in ancient Egypt and the Great lakes region (source of the
Nile). The pygmy was the Primary man that evolved in Central Africa around the
area of the sources of the Nile (Churchward, 1903). Not only was Africa the
birthplace of humanity; but the Africans spread knowledge and civilization all
over the world (Churchward, 1903). Churchward has this to say about Africans being
the original people of the human family We say that the human race originated, or
was planted, in the Northeast of Africa (including the sources and the banks of
the Nile), and it is a very important fact to note here that the symbology has
been carried down amongst ourselves to the present day (Churchward, 1903, p.8).
Here we have a White Mason in his Masonic writings admitting that Africa was the
mother of humanity and that Freemasonry was carried down from them (Africans) to
the present. Many scholars and historians teach and view Egypt as non-
African. They will deal with the issue of Khamet (Egypt) as if no Blacks were
present. Churchward was not one of the teachers that made this mistake. His
writings cannot be manipulated to make it look like he was talking about any other
group of people other than the black race as the people of Egypt and the first
race upon the planet. He stated We must go back to the beginning of these pygmies
and learn all that they can teach us, all the totemic ceremonies of the Nilotic
and other aboriginal Negroes, before we can get to the origin of all (Churchward,
1903). in an even stronger statement than the above Churchward says, In Africa, at
the present day, there exist some of the Nilotic Negroes, descendants of those who
first formed the nomes in Egypt?Churchward, 1903). It must be noted that all of
Churchwardâ?Ts work were primarily Masonic; he knew that Egypt was an
Africoid civilization and the early home of the Masonic order. The Nile Negroes
were probably one of the first of the An-rut race the race that was the first and
oldest race of men, after the Pygmies, as both Eusebius and Syncellus state that
amongst the Egyptians there was a certain tablet, called the old chronicle T
containing 30 dynasties in 113 descents, during a period of 36,525 years (Eusebius
Chronicles). The Ruti are those of monumental Egypt, and as An is the Egyptian for
Old or oldest, or first, so the An-rut means the first or oldest race of men
(Churchward, 1903, p.163). Therefore, Freemasonry was founded in Africa among
Black people in ancient times.
