Malachi Z York Views
Dwight York (born June 26, 1945[1] or 1935[2]), also known as Malachi Z. York, Issa Al Haadi Al Mahdi, et alii, is an American author, black supremacist leader,[3] musician, and convicted child molester, who founded various esoteric fraternal orders and black nationalist groups collectively referred to as Nuwaubians.
York’s groups later took on a new array of names and functions – religious, fraternal, and tribal – including the Yamassee Native American Tribe, the Washitaw Tribe, The Egiptian Church Of Karast, The Holy Tabernacle Ministries, The United Nuwaubian Nation Of Moors, the Holy Seed Baptist Synagogue, the Ancient Mystic Order of Melchizedek, and the Ancient Egiptian Order. Dwight York himself had his name legally changed to Issa al Haadi al Mahdi in 1990,[21] and then again to Malachi York in 1993,[4] but also tried on a myriad of titles and pseudonyms, including The Supreme Grand Master Dr. Malachi Z. York, Nayya Malachizodoq-El, and Chief Black Eagle (York claimed that the Nuwaubian Moors are descendants of the Olmecs via Egypt over an ancient land bridge to Georgia.)[citation needed]
York’s followers assert a number of defenses, including that their leader Malachi Z. York who was charged and convicted is not the same person as the Dwight D. York who is listed in court documents as the defendant (one of York’s sons is named Dwight, and sometimes the claim is made that it is York’s son and not York himself who is or should be the real defendant),[8][36] or that York was set up by his son Jacob in coordination with al Qaeda-linked American mosques jealous of York’s influence among black Muslims.[citation needed]
Nuwaubianism is a term used to describe the various doctrines and practices of the followers of Malachi Z. York, though it is not a term that they use themselves. The Nuwaubian teachings are sometimes referred to as “Nuwaubu”/“Nuwaupu”, “Wu-Nuwaubu”, “Right Knowledge”, “Sound Right Reasoning”, “Overstanding”, and “Factology”.
