Not Elijah Muhammad's Widow
Well, I guess it's about time somebody put this myth to rest. Ruby Muhammad was never married to Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad. Instead, he was married to one Clara Evans. Unless someone can provide some proof otherwise, there is no reason to believe that she ever was. I believe it was in fact this site (and the existence of those many wikipedia clone sites) that may have started this untruth. In researching some online newspaper articles, it seems that Ruby was married to two men, one for 50 years, and it seems that neither would have been Elijah Muhammad, since his name, while used several times in this article never alludes to a marriage between the two of them.[1]
While I don't believe this diminishes her life and accomplishments, it does in some sense reduce her notability. Sorry folks. Katagelophobia 2 Apr 2006
Reaching 110
- If someone can get a reference that proves that she's still alive, she'll be notable as being over 110.--HisSpaceResearch 02:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well, as of the 20th of March.--HisSpaceResearch 03:19, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Notability
Supercentenarian and Mother of the Nation of Islam combined do seem to establish notability.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 21:32, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
