Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam taught African Americans in New York about self-empowerment, racial pride, and the importance of economic independence. They emphasized the need for African Americans to embrace their identity and heritage, promoting a sense of community and solidarity. The teachings often included a focus on discipline, education, and the rejection of mainstream societal norms that were viewed as oppressive. Additionally, they advocated for a strong moral code and a return to self-sufficiency through entrepreneurship and self-reliance.
