As photo editor with the "Original" Muhammad Speaks Newspaper, WaliAkbar is the only photographer commissioned by the Hon. Elijah Muhammad to document the Nation of Islam, it's temples and resources for publication in the newspaper's Progress Section.

During a dinner meeting with the NOI leader and other officials in the mid 1970s, Mr. Muhammad instructed WaliAkbar to "Take your camera, brother, and go from temple to temple starting with No. 1 (Detroit) and photograph the believers and so we can show what kind of progress we are making."

WaliAkbar began pulling images of people, places and things "through his lenses", as he likes to call it, during the turbulent 1960s in Washington, DC where he was born.  By 1970 he moved to Chicago to work at the headquarters of Muhammad Speaks Newspaper. 

The Remembering Imam W.D. Mohammed book was prompted by a recent effort in Chicago by two of Imam Mohammed daughters to share memories of him on the three year anniversary passing in 2008.
