The Hegira is the journey or migration of Muhammad (the Islamic prophet) and his followers from Mecca to Yathrib in 622. After getting a warning from a group he and his followers surreptitiously left his residence in Mecca to migrate to Yathrib which was 320 km north of Mecca. In his migration, he was followed by Abu Bakr who later became one of the Caliphs.

For our domestic problems are now a part of the great emergency" and 2) "Just as our national policy in internal affairs has been based upon a decent respect for the rights and the dignity ofall our fellow men..." are not consistent with all the discriminatory practices blacks faced at that time.
