MUSLIM GIRLS TRAINING
On May 19, 1960, a source advised that the Muslim Girls
Training (MGT) is a group within the Nation of Islam (NOI) and is
composed of all female members of the NOI. The MGT is similar in
structure to the Fruit of Jeslam (FOI), which is composed of male
members of the NOI, in that the MGT has officers similar to
military organizations to whom other female members are account~
able, MGT members receive instructions in homemaking, hygiene,
calisthenics, and other subjects such as Muslim history and the
English language. There also exists a Junior MGT, which is
composed of female members of the NOI who are between the ages
of 15 and 19 and who are afforded nilitary-type drill.
Since 1957, various officers and "sisters" of the MGT
have, at meetings of the MGT, used the term MGT so that it also
means General Civilization Class. General Civilization Class
refers to classes conducted within the MGT,
. .The above refers to activities of the MGT at Muhasmad's
Temple of Islam No. 2., 5335 South Greenwood, Chicago, Illinois.
On May 7, 1964, another source advised that the MGT
is a group within the NOI which is composed of all female
members of the NOI. The MGT is similar in structure to the
FOI, which is composed of male members of the NOI. In theory,
the MGT exists in all Temples of the NOI and is patterned after
the MGT at Muhammad's Temple of Islam No. 2, Chicago. Generali
Civilization Class refers to the collective group of classes held
within the MGT.
