Moorish World TV and Host Taharka Bey Accused of False Advertising, Name Change Demanded

Mr. Bey has upset some Moorish Americans over the years because he has a style of show where he critiques other individuals and organizations and outlines there shortcomings, from his point of view. Most recently he critiqued Minister Louis Farrakhan and Elijah Muhammad for their connections to Masonry, going as far as questioning whether they were "hiding light" from the people and referring to them as "gatekeepers". In the past Mr. Bey has taken a strong stance against Masonry and the Shriner fraternity.

"Taharka Bey has a right to free speech and the right to critique whoever he likes, but there is a point in time where he may find himself under the same critiques that he has for others."

H.A. Jabar, Custodian of the Bishop J.J. Moore Zion Family Library

In the 1850s our great grandfather, Bishop John Jamison Moore, published the Lunar Visitor in San Francisco, California. He gave it the mission statement “to be devoted to the moral, intellectual, and social movement of the negro race.” Over 170 years later, we are continuing the legacy and work. Take a look at our catalog, we are turning out quality products for the betterment of the whole family. Readers are leaders, the more books the better!

The Legacy of the 15th Consecrated Bishop of the AME Zion Church continues through his publishing house the Lunar Visitor which recently published a children’s fantasy book authored by his great grandson!

The book tells the story of Paddy Paws, a green cat on a mission. To prove he is ready for the great task of walking the young Red auks from the island’s grove back to the shore, he has to first go and bring back emerald squash seeds from another island. He carries out the task successfully with the aid of his new animal friends. He also discovers his love for raw cookie dough.

A while after his return, he began the main task of walking the auk, Roe-To, safely to shore. A few days away from the shore, he meets Flec, a lone wolf who followed his trail to catch and killRoe-To (to prove himself worthy to be the next leader of the pack). Paddy, the obsessively clean cat, manages to first call a truce with the wolf, and then eventually getting him to agree to not kill Roe-To.

Roe-To, Paddy and other animals safely make it to the shore and hand the young auks back to their parents. As the auks and their parents depart, another wolf vying for the position of the leader of the pack leads the other wolves to attack, but the attack is quickly stopped by the brown cats guarding the auks.

It ends with Vent, a fisherman whose greed had brought him to the black island, deciding to keep the existence of the green cats and all he had seen happen at the shore a secret just like Ham, his teacher.

2024 Elections for AME Zion Church Bishop Highlight the Significance of the Role and the Room for Corruption

2024 is a big year for elections! Not only will U.S. citizens cast their vote for the President of Unites States, but also members of the AME Zion Church will vote for new Bishops of the Denomination. Candidates have already begun campaigning to influence church members.

The AME Zion Church has over one million members, church homes that span the continental United States, as well as church homes on the African Continent. The title and role of “Bishop” holds tremendous authority and responsibility, both physically and spiritually. Unlike the President of the United States, Bishops hold a spiritual responsibility to not only church members, but to God himself! Bishops are responsible for assigning Pastors to churches and determining the overall direction of the denomination.
