The nation of Islam developed in 1929, the year Timothy Drew died. Drew changed his name to Noble Drew Ali and was the originator of the Moorish Science Temple of America, that prospered in Chicago, Detroit, and various cities in the 1920s. Following Drew Ali's death, a limited type of Moorish Science Temple developed in 1930 in Detroit. The Moorish Science Temple was led by Wallace D Fard. Wallace Fard was also known as Master Ferad Mohammad or Wali Fard. Ferad produced two instruction handbooks, The Secret Ritual of the Nation of Islam and The Teachings for the Lost Found Nation of Islam in a Mathematical Way. These instructions drew a large number of poor black people that were true Muslims, especially in Detroit in the depression. Fard's Nation of Islam also advocated multiples of principles, The Koranic, The Christian Bible, his own perspective and the views of Marcus Garvey. In 1943, following creating a temple of Islam, Fard vanished and one of his followers Elijah Poole (1897-1975), called Elijah Muhammad by Fard, became the head of the Detroit temple then of a second one in Chicago. The Nation of Islam drew an investigation by federal officials in WWII due to its members rejecting service in the military. Muhammad was taken into custody in May of 1942 for causing resistance to the draft and was in prison in Milan, Michigan until 1946. When let out, he moved to Chicago and worked to broaden his movement. The Nation of Islam indicated that Black people were the planet's first human residents who lived in the Nile Valley and that a magician called Yakub, created white people who were forced to reside in Europe where they expanded evil. Their worst crime was enslaving black people. Muhammad instructed that white supremacy was ending and black people should find again their own heritage in history. Members were taught to follow a code of conduct that included refraining from Southern black foods, particularly pork. The other movement was led by Father Major Jealous Divine (1877-1965), born as George Baker of Savannah. He went to New York and commenced what in the 1930s was called The Peace Mission Movement. Divine acquired domestic employment for his adherence on various estates and advocated a message of hard work, honesty, sobriety, equality, and sexual abstinence. He made available free meals and shelter for anyone who requested it. In 1930, he changed his designation to Father Divine. His movement promoted racial and economic empowerment views, that appealed to poor and needy blacks and white urban residents by providing spiritual instruction, and mental and physical healing. The movement included views from the New Thought, from Holiness, from Perfectionists, and Adventist religions. Father Divine allowed folks to eat at his common feast table and hear pledges of Heaven on Earth. The feasts were emblems of the early communion service. It became the distinguishing habit of Divine's religion. In 1931, the police took Divine into custody with 80 of his disciples on the allegation of being a public nuisance. Three days following the Judge sentencing Divine to a year in prison and a $500 penalty, the Judge died of a heart attack. The conviction was reversed. Divine's public esteem as a master of heavenly forces sword, some believed he was God. The peace movement attracted followers due to its endeavoring to end racial discrimination and economic injustice. In 1933, Divine moved his residence to Harlem, where the movement flourished. He started a new day journal in 1937 to spread his beliefs. Between 1936 and 1940, he pushed for strong anti-lynching laws. The Divine movement reflected the Protestant ethic: work hard, maintain a fit mind and body, eat properly, dress modestly, surround one's self with good friends, shun evil and corruption. So these different religions became popular in the 1930s and 1940s and were to deal with particular concerns arising from the Depression and also the dramatic difficulties of moving to unfriendly surroundings by their adherence.
