He performed as a calypso singer under the name The Charmer. In 1955, inspired by Malcolm X to join the Nation of Islam, he took the name Louis X. He headed the Nation of Islam's Harlem Mosque from 1965 to 1975, and became head of the movement in 1977.
On January 12, 1995 Malcolm X's daughter, Qubilah Shabazz, was arrested for conspiring to kill Farrakhan.
Farrakahan has been a prominent voice in favor of racial segregation. He has aroused considerable controversy by claiming that white people are the product of genetic experiments performed by negro scientists, and that they will rule the earth for 6,000 years before being "crushed by the black gods". Furthermore he has called Judaism a "gutter religion" and advocates violence against Jews and Christians.
He has been banned from entering the United Kingdom since 1986 as "someone whose presence is not conducive to good public order" (David Blunkett, 2002) despite several legal attempts to overturn the exclusion order.
