description: "Elijah Muhammad was an American religious leader who led the Nation of Islam from 1933 until his death in 1975. Under his leadership, the Nation of Islam grew from a small Detroit-based movement into a nationwide organization with tens of thousands of members in the United States during the civil rights movement. The group promoted black nationalism and a distinctive theology which taught that white people were a race of \"devils\" created by an evil black scientist named Yakub, and that there were multiple gods, each a black man named Allah. Elijah Muhammad taught that he himself was the messenger of these gods."
