NOTICE OF HEADLINE RETRACTION

November 24, 2015

As Salaam Alaikum

Dear Readers:

In the face of a resurgence of state-sponsored murders and “justifiable homicide(s)” of Black people by police and vigilantes not seen since the height of Jim Crow lynchings, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is calling for a massive withdrawal of capital from the U.S. economy by withholding the billions of dollars we spend on non-essential consumer products between the last week of November through the end of December.  Phase I of the campaign officially begins on so-called Black Friday, November 27, 2015.  

The target of this nationwide boycott is the retail industry, which deceptively and effectively uses the fictitious character known as “Santa Claus” to lure us into generating the largest economic stimulus in the world to America, while our cry for justice goes unanswered.

We are asking our people to uplift Jesus Christ and demonstrate the love, honor and respect we claim to feel for One who gave himself entirely for our Salvation.  Thus, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has declared:  “Up with Jesus,  Down with Santa!”

The  words that make up the  Headline and front cover  of the December 1, 2015 Final Call Newspaper are an error and in no way reflect the views or sentiment of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam towards the name “Christ” or the Christian faith.

Please accept our profound apologies.

Sincerely,
