RESOLUTION No. 75

Mr. WITKIN, Mr. Speaker, I desire at this time to call up Resolution

No. 75, Printer's No. 1034.

The Resolution was read by the Clerk as follows:

In the House of Representatives, April 17, 1933.

Many sons and daughters of that proud and handsome race which inspired
the architecture of Northern Africa and carried into Spain the
influence of its artistic temperaments have become citizens of this
Nation (America is the Nation, United States is the Country).

In the City of Philadelphia there exists a Moorish-American Society (there is

a such thing recognized as a Moorish American, so none can say that Moorish
American nationality doesnt exist) made up of Moors who have found here the
end of their quest for a home and of the children of those who journeyed here
from the plains (Moors are plain rich, said Prophet Noble Drew Ali) of
Morrocco.

This Society has done much to bring about a thorough absorption by

these people (i.e. Negros, Black, African Americans) of those principles
which are necessary to make them good American citizens.

These Moorish-Americans have since being here (United States) missed the use
of the titles and name annexations that were so familiar at home and which
are used in accordance with the doctrines of the religious faith to
which they are adherents therefore be it, Resolved (meaning that its done)
That this House commends the Moorish-American Society of Philadelphia for the
efficient service it has rendered (i.e. paid, to have an account adjusted)
the Nation in bringing about a speedy and thorough Americanization of these
former Moors (i.e. meaning these Moors are created or created themselves) and
that in accordance with the fullest right of religious independence
guaranteed every citizen (i.e. equated to American Citizen, outside of the
United States, taking a different position, the present system is based on a
structure where things are in reverse) we recognize also the right of these
people to use the name affixes El or Ali or Bey or any other prefix or suffix
to which they have heretofore been accustomed to use
or which they may hereafter acquire the right to use.

On the question, Will the House Adopt the resolution? It was Adopted May
4,1933
