Elijah Muhammad, a leader of the Nation of Islam, believed that African Americans should assert themselves against white power.

Explanation:

Elijah Muhammad encouraged blacks to leave the Christian religion which, he explained, was a tool used by whites to oppress blacks. The teachings of Elijah Muhammad emphasized black nationalism and a self-sufficient economy. Both local mosques and individual members were encouraged to open their own businesses. The organization he led owned land and businesses, and had schools for children and adults.

In 1942 he was imprisoned for fomenting military insubordination among blacks. Upon his release in 1946 the Nation of Islam grew rapidly, especially in the sixties, when it survived a break between Muhammad and his disciple Malcolm X. Muhammad advocated an exclusive state for black Muslims.
