Rise above the noise.
Did you know that 6-time NBA champion Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was Born Lew Alcindor Jr and has roots traced to Nigeria?
Lew Alcindor converted to Islam in 1971 and took the name Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (meaning “the noble one of the Almighty.”)
|The adoption of a new name was an extension of my rejection of all things in my life that related to the enslavement of my family and people. Alcindor was a French planter in the West Indies who owned my ancestors. My forebears were YORUBA people, from present day NIGERIA.
In 1973, I traveled to Libya and Saudi Arabia to learn enough Arabic to study the Quran on my own. I emerged from this pilgrimage with my beliefs clarified and my faith renewed.
My parents were not pleased by my conversion. Though they weren’t strict Catholics, they had raised me to believe in Christianity as the gospel. |
