The
Moorish Science Temple of America was organized
in 1913 in Newark, New Jersey. The Temple was investigated
by the FBI in 1953 for violation of the Selective
Service Act of 1948 and Sedition. In September of
1953, the Department of Justice, concluded that
prosecution for violation of the Selective Service
Act was not warranted. A 1940 investigation was
conducted to determine if the Moorish Science Temple
of America was committing subversive activities
by adhering to and spreading of Japanese propaganda.
The investigation failed to substantiate that members
were pro-Japanese.
