“A Tribute to the Pioneers”:
A History of the Nation of Islam in Buffalo
Muhammad Mosque #23 hosted “A Tribute to the Pioneers” on Saturday February 19, 2011. The program was designed to give a token of gratitude, honor, and respect in recognition of the hard work and sacrifice that was given by those who went before us to establish the teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Temple #23 here in Buffalo, New York.
“We also wanted to make people aware of the direct contact that Minister Malcolm X had with the pioneers, in setting up Muhammad Mosque #23 in Buffalo,” said Student Minister Bro. Dahveed Muhammad. “Minister Malcolm X traveled to the area several times to visit the family of Ora-Lee X Lewis (McQuiller). We know her now as Ora-Lee Khalid Lewis-Delgado. Her brother, Bobby McQuiller brought the teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad to Lakawana NY in 1953.”
According to Bro. Dahveed, Sis. Ora-Lee also received letters and phone correspondence directly from the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who sent Min. Malcolm X to the area, in response to a great many letters that Elijah Muhammad was receiving from people in Buffalo / Lakawana, because of the work and effort of Bro. Bobby McQuiller. The family of Levi and Kathrine X Hawkins, with daughters Maryann, LuCinda, and Carol, began attending study with Bobby McQuiller in Lakawana in 1954.
"Eventually Min. Malcolm X moved the study group to Buffalo, to Sis. Ora-Lee’s home at 78 Brunswick Blvd.,” chronicled Bro. Dahveed. “From there it was moved to the home of Levi and Kathrine X Hawkins at 44 Butler Ave. Min. Malcolm X eventually sent Min. Thomas J. X and his assistant Min. Robert J. X from Hartford CN in 1956 to continue growing the Buffalo study group. Min. Malcolm visited the homes at 78 Brunswick Blvd. and 44 Butler Ave. several more times in support of the growing study group. The group eventually achieved the status of a Mosque, and received it’s number 23 in 1957, under the leadership of Min. Robert J. X Williams.”
The program included a reading of copies of original letters of guidance and instruction written by Min. Malcolm X to the ministers that he installed here. Min. Malcolm X typed the letters and wrote hand-written notes in the margins. The letters were on display at the event. There were historical testimonials by Sis. Ora-Lee, Bro. Donnelle X Oliver, Min. Robert J. and some of the other pioneers who were present. There was a picture slide show presentation of a chronology of the Nation of Islam in Buffalo. There was food, music and entertainment provided by Muhammad School of Music accompanied by Will Houghton.
