Louis Farrakhan is an American religious leader known for his role as the head of the Nation of Islam (NOI). He made headlines for organizing the Million Man March in Washington, D.C. in 1995. Farrakhan previously pursued a career as a calypso singer before joining NOI and advancing within its ranks. Following the restructuring of NOI by Warith Deen Mohammed, Farrakhan reestablished the organization under the name “Final Call” before officially reverting it back to “Nation of Islam”. Criticism has been directed at Farrakhan for his antisemitic, racist, and homophobic statements, which led to his removal from Facebook in 2019.
