The Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission have approved the New Africa Center’s request for a PA Historical Marker for Muhammad’s Mosque #12 at 4218 Lancaster Ave in West Philadelphia during the late 1950’s and early 1960’s granting historical status to one of the most important sites in Philadelphia’s black community history. Malcolm X and Imam W. D. Mohammed both were teachers and administrators at Mosque #12 during this period.
*The charismatic figures of Malcolm X, Imam Wallace D. Muhammad, and Cecil B. Moore made Mosque #12 one of the most historic spaces in Pennsylvania.
