Louis Farrakhan
Louis Farrakhan became head of the Nation of Islam, a black religious organization, in 1978. Farrakhan's anti-Semitic remarks and his message of black separatism have been controversial. However, many people have also supported his calls for economic independence and moral responsibility in the black community.
