Yet Nazi Germany in 1935 had no monopoly on anti-Semitism, nor was black America immune. The Louis Farrakhan of that era was Sufi Abdul Hamid. New York's self-styled "Black Hitler." 

Born plain Eugene Brown in Philadelphia. Sufi as a youth went to sea, where he picked up a smat- tering of exotic languages, and then landed in Chicago where dur- ing the late 1920's he caused a sensation by draping his massive frame in a combination of jackboots, diamond-studded belt, flowing cape, and fez.

In New York his racist message lost none of its punch. Identifying himself as the black Hitler and a man that the Jews were terrified of, he urged his listeners to run Jews out of Harlem. In a manner Louis Farrakhan would make familiar many years later...

So this was the inspiration for the “black fuhrer of Harlem” character from Kurt Vonnegut’s “Mother Night”?
