Minister points finger at Jews

Nation of Islam minister Louis Farrakhan has written to the leaders of more than a dozen major United States Jewish groups and denominations seeking "repair of my people from the damage" he claims Jews have caused blacks for centuries.

Farrakhan sent the letter and two books from the Nation of Islam historical research team that the 77-year-old minister said prove "an undeniable record of Jewish anti-black behaviour", starting with the slave trade and laws that discriminated against blacks.
