This Sacred property is the most important piece of property in modern day African American history. There are more leaders and icons that have visited, dined, and met in the Home of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Mother Clara Muhammad from 1952 to 1972 than any other piece of property in our modern-day history as African Americans. More influencers from our community have met and dined in this home from 1952 to 1972. From the Rev Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mrs. Coretta Scott King, Mother Tynnetta Muhammad, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, Senator Adam Clayton Powell, Comedian and Activist Dick Gregory, Author and Activist James Baldwin, Muhammad Ali, Wilma Rudolph, Malcolm X, Mother Evelyn Muhammad, James Brown, Sam Cook, Kwame Toure, Ralph Abernathy, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, Mother Khadijah Farrakhan, Che Guevera, Members of the 1968 Democratic Convention, a host of International Representatives, Business Leaders and many other iconic members of our community.
Urban Historic Preservation is on the rise in Urban Cities throughout America. African Americans around the United States are preserving their history through the development of House Museums. Preservationist, Business and Real Estate Developer, Sajdah Wendy Muhammad, is one of the vanguards of this new movement to use place-based education to tell the stories of the everyday lives of African Americans.

Most renovation and preservation projects do not include careful restoration of old materials, like converting copper gutters and downspouts into commemorative collectible coins. Coins have a rich history, making collecting them a rewarding hobby. People collect coins for many reasons, including historic or artistic value, or to invest in coins for potential long-term profit. But to collect a coin, made of the old copper that was recycled from the home of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, is a rare treasure, to say the least.
Each Commemorative Elijah Coin™ is one ounce of pure copper that has been pressed, cleaned, melted at 1,983 degrees Fahrenheit, and molded into a commemorative coin, graded by Independent Coin Graders (ICG), who have been grading and authenticating coins, tokens, and medals from around the world for collectors and dealers since 1998. ICG uses a unique, state-of-the-art, tamper-resistant holder with a custom hologram system and specialty plastics making the holder one of the least counterfeited in the industry.
The coins are laden with spiritual significance, including twenty-four stars surrounding an etched image of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad on the front. The traditional “In God We Trust” that is typically seen on coins is replaced with the phrase, “In the Name of Allah”. The back of the coin includes an etching of the House Museum with the phrase “He Lives” written above the Arabic phrase “La Illaha Illallah” which in English means “There Is No God but Allah”.
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was quoted as saying, “When they find out Who I am they will rip the bark off the trees. I love and believe in the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad as the Messenger of Allah. Everything he touched, walked on, or possessed is sacred to me and many Believers and Followers around the world. I am humbled that Allah has Entrusted me with the opportunity to preserve some of the history of His Messenger. We are focused on preserving as much of the history as possible.”
