'''Louis Farrakhan''' (born '''Louis Eugene Walcott''', May 11, 1933) is an American minister who is the current leader of the [[Nation of Islam]], considered to be a [[Hate Groups|hate group]] by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Previously, he served as the minister of mosques in Boston and Harlem and had been appointed National Representative of the Nation of Islam by former NOI leader [[Elijah Muhammed]].

Farrakhan was born Louis Eugene Walcott in The Bronx, New York, the younger of two sons of Sarah Mae Manning (January 16, 1900 – November 18, 1988) and Percival Clark, immigrants from the Anglo-Caribbean islands. His mother was born in Saint Kitts and Nevis, while his father was Jamaican. The couple separated before their second son was born, and Farrakhan says he never knew his biological father.

In a 1996 interview with Henry Louis Gates Jr., he speculated that his father, "Gene", may have been Jewish. After the end of his parents' relationship, his mother moved in with Louis Walcott from Barbados, who became his stepfather. After his stepfather died in 1936, the Walcott family moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where they settled in the West Indian neighborhood of Roxbury.
