Description
Photograph was edited for publication purposesPhotograph article dated March 27, 1961 partially reads, "The feast and rally at the new Muslim Mosque, 13209 Van Nuys Blvd., Pacoima, appeared to be a poorly-attended, quiet affair. The meeting, Sunday, to which only Negroes were invited, marked the change of the former store building from a mission to a mosque for the anti-integration cult. Outside the repainted building which bears a 'grand opening' sign, one member of the cult kept an eye out for uninvited visitors. When a Valley Times TODAY photographer asked the man's name, the question was evaded and, while the young man talked with the photographer, several other members of the cult left the Mosque and joined him."
