THE PIONEERS
Sister Captain Nettie Muhammad
===========================================================================
SISTER CAPTAIN NETTIE MUHAMMAD was born November 26, 1923, in Gates
Tennessee to Louis Harris and Genora Riley Harris. She was the eldest of
nine children.
She reclaimed her own in the Nation of Islam in 1949. She became the
Secretary-Treasurer of Muhammad’s Temple No. 1 in Detroit, Michigan.
Through her dedication to Islam and her natural desire to help, SISTER
NETTIE MUHAMMAD was appointed Captain of the M.G.T. & G.C.C. (Muslim
Girls Training and General Civilization Class) in Detroit, by Messenger
Elijah Muhammad, Himself.
Later SISTER NETTIE MUHAMMAD became the National Captain of the M.G.T.
for the Nation of Islam, traveling extensively throughout the United
States, teaching, training, and guiding sisters in the ways of Islam.
SISTER CAPTAIN NETTIE MUHAMMAD was highly respected and well loved by
all who knew her. From her warm and loving smile, we grew to depend on
and appreciate her pearls (words) of wisdom. Her even temperment and fair
disposition made her one of the best Captains the Nation of Islam ever
had.
SISTER CAPTAIN NETTIE MUHAMMAD was truly one of Allah’s blessings
bestowed upon us and to Allah we are forever thankful.
In 1951, she married Brother Benjamin F. Muhammad and to this union three
daughters (Carol, Valerie and Marshelia). were born.
