“The Minister had a bout with prostate cancer and it is hard to believe that just 10 months ago he was having a 14 hour surgery. The prayers from so many went up to a mighty God from all across the world. Minister Farrakhan is alive today because of those prayers and a mighty God,” said Minister Farrakhan’s assistant, Ishmael Muhammad at a recent press conference.

He added, “Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of death for men and particularly Black men. The Louis Farrakhan Prostate Cancer Foundation was created to generate greater awareness of the disease and to get men tested.”

“I want to thank the city of Atlanta for welcoming us,” said Mr. Muhammad. “After Minister Farrakhan visits the city, he will leave a positive energy and something to build on. He will offer words and guidance on principles of atonement.”

Minister Farrakhan’s address will be broadcast live via satellite in over 120 cities throughout America and locations worldwide.
