To introduce students to the History & Spirituality of Moorish Science and World History from a Moorish American perspective. We are a Moorish Science Temple & School — providing a synchronized path of learning for all those who seek to know their true Nationality, Divine Creed, and place in the world.

Man Know Thyself — and to thy own self be true.

All those labeled as black, Negro, colored, Ethiopian, West Indian, Native American, African American, Indigenous, and more must understand: these names were given to slaves by slave holders. This is a new era of time — all must proclaim their free national name. The Moorish Americans are the Descendants of the Ancient Moabites.
