The initial Daily Northwestern story about Akil’s speech ran on Nov. 14, 1995, under the headline, “FMO speaker decries whites.” FMO refers to For Members Only, the university’s black student alliance.
According to the Daily Northwestern, Akil was speaking on the topic “Decoding White Supremacy: Reading Destructive Images.” He slammed white representations of Jesus, calling them the “fa—t Jesus,” the paper reported. He repeatedly called gay people “fa—ts” and blasted Abraham Lincoln as a “wolf in sheep’s clothing,” according to the paper.
He also told the crowd that “all white people have a little Hitler in them,” the paper said.
