CHICAGO — In his first major public address after undergoing treatment for prostate cancer, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Sunday that Barack Obama is the “hope of the entire world” that the U.S. will change for the better.
Farrakhan, 74, addressing about 20,000 people at the group’s annual Saviours’ Day celebration, never outrightly endorsed Obama but spent most of the nearly two-hour speech praising the Illinois senator.
“This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better,” he said. “This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow.”
