Abdullah Sawab: The Atlantic Scrolls

By Michael Tombs

Early Monday morning on September 18, back in the day, Aku was extremely angry and upset because of the murder of Uncle Freddie in South Carolina. What prompted his anger was that the killer’s hideout was known by young Rudy and his family, who lived in Columbia at the time. Aku wanted “this piece of shit permanently horizontal” and put in the ground. As soon as Michael Tombs arrived at Aku’s after-hours club, the go-go girls were on the stage, working the poles and dancing. The setup girls had the tricks in the club, singing Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy.” The club’s customers were buying drinks and enjoying the R&B music. Dice games, movies, and card games were available in the casino. Tombs suggested to Aku as they sat down in the VIP private room, “We should go down to Columbia, South Carolina, and pay young Rudy’s family a visit over the weekend.” Aku calmed down once Michael Tombs arrived on Monday night. “We smoked some Acapulco gold in his office, and I suggested that we should get this matter cleared up immediately.”

“I personally have always rejected the Puritan premise of original sin, however, any notion that I’m not serious, not intellectual, does not summarize my feelings.” ~Michael Tombs “I personally always believed that a warm, enthusiastic, confident, and concerned voice puts all of the resources to learn at the student’s command; eventually, I had to ask myself “The Grand Question” and its answers helped shape my choice of institutions of higher learning for the remainder of the 20th Century. These ideas offended a number of the so called white elite and their racist establishment, however, they were accepted by a huge segment of the African American community. They informed the Black Youth Organization (BYO) of the popular dialogue of the 1960s, in addition, many of the on campus demands of the 1960s protesters relied on beliefs such as acceptance, positive regard, & family life. As our distance from Elijah Muhammad grows, the American critiques, in my opinion, seem increasingly irrelevant. What Muhammad provides- what all Messengers provide is a unique vision. Before being dismissed and forgotten, Muhammad was attacked on a series of particular grounds. Reviews of Islam’s literature showed the necessity and the sufficiency of his teachings difficult to prove, although the evidence of Sunni and Shiite culture remains strong…

INTRODUCTION

It was Sunday morning and Michael Tombs was on his way, as usual, to visit Richard Atilla Tibbs in the federal correctional institution in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. As Tombs sat in the visitor’s area and waited for Atilla to arrive, Tombs was reflecting and thinking about his new move downtown in Manhattan and the Yonkers, New York storage building fire that had destroyed all of his personal papers, photographs, legal documents, and every file he had collected relating to Atilla’s trial. Atilla was sentenced by the federal court trial judge in Newark, New Jersey, and the verdict came down with a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. The prison visit went well, Atilla and Michael Tombs talked about everything from boxing to American Indians, including Geronimo, Chief Red Cloud, Chief Crazy Horse, and Chief Sitting Bull. Suddenly Atilla asked Tombs, why did it take you so long this time to come down to the Lewisburg prison and visit me? Tombs said, you know the answer to that, In my mind I paused, and simply said, you know the whole story, I became distracted, I became sidetracked with my NGO, and I began to work on the Presidential pardon brief, authorized by President Barak H. Obama, of Samantha Atwood. What impressed Tombs about Atilla was that he always recognized Tombs as soon as he noticed him in the visiting area. Atilla would always say, Rahim how are you doing We both always thanked the merciful Allah for the blessing of being among friends and I continually encouraged Atilla, in every conversation, never to give up any hope, to stay vigilant, because many of our life long friends, supporters, and children were praying for the best possible outcome in his ongoing clemency appeal from the President of the United States, Barak H. Obama. First of all, we both knew the odds were a long shot in the universe and it was necessary to take reality into consideration, however, I finally said, let’s look at it like a NBA men’s professional basketball game If you find your offense can’t win the game, you should have a superb dominating defense in reserve that could pull off the victory with a win! As the visit with Atilla came to an end and they said good by as always, Tombs started walking towards the prison exit door to pick up his personal property in his pre assigned locker, Tombs thought to himself, we never ever mentioned Abdullah Sawab or mentioned any of Sawab’s family members. Jamillah, Sawab’s wife, cooked the best bean soup, baked the best bean pie that I had ever tasted in my entire life, and their four young daughters were treasures during the early years of their childhood and our friendship. In addition, I was introduced to Jamillah’s sister, Sharonda. Several days later Michael Tombs got a phone call from Atilla as usual, however, Atilla is only allowed three hundred minutes a month so Tombs suggested that Atilla should call him whenever it was only necessary. Tombs knew then as he was leaving the gates of the Lewisburg federal prison, that Abdullah Sawab’s story had to be told" and Michael Tombs was determined to write his own personal summary about their tumultuous early years beginning in the late 1960s right on up to 2020.
