CHICAGO—The Fruit of Islam of Mosque Maryam, the men of the Nation of Islam, gathered at a major intersection in the South Shore community to distribute The Final Call newspaper and engage neighborhood residents as part of their efforts to make the neighborhood a safe and decent place to live.

The FOI were well-received by residents and those who traversed the major transportation hub. The intersection of 71st and Jeffrey Blvd. is within walking distance of the mosque. South Shore is a community with many positives, but, like many Black neighborhoods has its share of challenges. But with the FOI on the scene light, life and power were brought to the streets and the effort led by Central Region Student Captain Dwayne Muhammad, was well received.
