| Abstract

This dissertation demonstrates the centrality of the Nation of Islam (NOI) and black nationalist politics to the modern black freedom movement. The Nation of Islam’s activism in prisons, courtrooms, and on college campuses—spaces both familiar and unfamiliar to narratives of black struggle—broadens our understanding of black politics during the postwar period. The NOI was not apolitical as some scholars have claimed. It was a religious black nationalist organization which pursued its political objectives with intentionality. While its politics and religion were sometimes in tension, they should not be seen in contradiction. Black nationalism’s importance has often been discussed only insofar as it shaped the development of Black Power in the late 1960s. However, it was a crucial stream of black political thought during the postwar period and played a significant role in shaping the discourse, aims, and objectives of these freedom struggles.
