"When the Word is Given..." by Louis E. Lomax is a historical account published in the early 1960s. The book investigates the ideologies and activities surrounding prominent figures in the Black Muslim movement, notably Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X, amidst the backdrop of the American civil rights struggle. It explores the broader context of race relations in America, delving into how the Black Muslims have sought to empower African Americans while addressing systemic racism. The opening of the narrative sets a critical tone, highlighting the significance of the Black Muslim movement during a time of heightened racial tensions in America. Lomax provides an analysis of the movement's beliefs, which revolve around the concepts of racial pride, self-identity, and separation from a society that has historically marginalized Black individuals. He illustrates the fervor surrounding Malcolm X's teachings, emphasizing the transformational impact they have had on many in the African American community, particularly those who have faced incarceration or social disenfranchisement. Through a combination of personal anecdotes and historical research, the author aims to shed light on the complexity of the Black Muslim experience and the evolving discourse on race in America.
