Remembering the foundation
The record still speaks. We preserve what is known, name it with care, and honor those who carried the movement forward.
Founder & Prophet
The Moorish Science Temple of America was founded by Prophet Noble Drew Ali. Temple No. 9 receives its archive as a sacred community responsibility—to preserve, label, and share source material with dignity.
These historic materials form part of the Temple's visual and written record. Where a person or date has not been confirmed, the silence remains; we do not manufacture an identity for the sake of a caption.
