Background

Origins and genealogy

York’s biography is difficult to determine, as much of the story he and his followers have told is mythical rather than historical. York has gone to great lengths to establish genealogical toeholds in various important lines of descent.

According to some accounts York was born in Boston, Massachusetts^[3] or New Jersey^[4] or New York^[1] or Baltimore^[5].

The way York tells it, he was born in Omdurman, Sudan.^[6] His mother is Mary C. York née Williams, now also known as Faatimah Maryam, who at the time was married to David Piper York. York claims that his biological father was Al Haadi Abdur Rahman Al Mahdi, whom Williams is said to have met while she was a student in the Sudan.^[6] Omdurman is in northern Sudan (upper center). ...

York claims that the name he was given at birth was “Isa Al Haadi Al Mahdi” and that he only acquired the name “York” (without a first name) a month later when the family returned to Boston.^[6] David and Mary York have four other children: David, Dale, Debra and Dennis.^[7] Isa is the Arabic equivalent of Yeshua, and of the English male names Joshua and Jesus, all three coming form the same name originally. ...

David Piper York is said to be a descendant of “Ben” York of the Lewis and Clark Expedition^[7]. In order to preserve Dwight York’s claim to be in Ben York’s bloodline, while also claiming that his real father was Al Haadi Abdur Rahman Al Mahdi, an additional claim is made — that Mary Williams and David York are second cousins: Mary Williams’s mother, Leila Williams née Miller (a Washita Native American) is said to have been Ben York’s granddaughter on her father’s side. York, (c. ... Lewis and Clark The Lewis and Clark expedition (1804-1806) was the first United States overland expedition to the Pacific coast and back. ...

In one telling, Ben York is the son of Old York, also known as Yusuf Ben Ali, and these Yorks were named after Black-A-Moors from the English House of York.^[8] In another telling, Ben York’s mother is said to have been one Warda Saliym “Rose” Idriys, “a Yamassee Native American Moor,” whose father is Old York/Yusuf Ben Ali, which would make Ben York Old York’s grandson.^[9] Idriys was also the “daughter of Sharufa Salim Idriys, of the Idrisid Dynasty”^[8] The Bilali Muhammad Document is a handwritten, Arabic manuscript on West African Islamic Law. ...

On his mother’s side, Clarence Daniel “Bobby” Williams, Mary C. York’s father, is described as “an Egyptian Moor named Salah Hailak Al Ghala, a merchant seaman from a little village called Beluwla, in Nubia of Ancient Egypt”^[8] but another geneaological tree shows Bobby Williams’s father as unknown and his mother as “Madam Decontee” of the Bassa tribe of Liberia.^[7] Look up moor, Moor in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

These various, convoluted, and probably invented lines of descent are important to York’s various claims to be simultaneously a Yamassee Native American chief, a Celtic Moor from the house of York, a Nubian Egyptian, a Liberian yet with royal Sudanese blood, and so forth (and those are just a few of the lines of descent he claims on this planet).

Early life and ministry

York says that he was raised in Massachusets and then at the age of seven went to Aswan, Nubia, to learn Islam. “My grandfather, As Sayyid Abdur Rahman Al Mahdi, the Imaam of the Ansaars in the Sudan until 1959 AD, upon looking into my eyes foretold that I was the one who would possess ‘the light.’”^[11] He says he returned to the United States in 1957 at age 12 and continued to study Islam, and moved to Teaneck, New Jersey as an adolescent. In 1964, York was sentenced to probation after pleading guilty to a msidemeanor charge of raping a 13-year-old girl. Later that year, he was arrested again for assault, possession of a dangerous weapon and resisting an officer. York was sentence to three years in state prison. After he was paroled in 1967 he joined the Black Panthers^[12] State nickname: Bay State Other U.S. States Capital Boston Largest city Boston Governor Mitt Romney Official languages English Area 27,360 km² (44th)  - Land 20,317 km²  - Water 7,043 km² (25. ...

He soon changed his name to “Imaam Isa Abdullah” and started his “Ansaar Pure Sufi” ministry to the “Nubians” in Brooklyn in 1967.^[1] The group later became part of the Black Hebrews phenomenon, under the names “Nubian Islaamic Hebrews”^[13] and “Nubian Hebrew Mission”^[14] in 1969.

They participate in the compilation of the various texts produced by the community and also work in the recording studio owned by the community.

York himself had his name legally changed to Malachi York in 1983, but also tried on a myriad of titles and pseudonyms, including The Supreme Grand Master Dr. Malachi Z.

He later launched his own label named Passion, recording himself as the solo artist “Dr. York”.

His debut release was the single “It’s Only A Dream” which came from the album New York (Hot Melt Records 1985). The artistic contributions on the album included background vocals from Ted Mills of the group Blue Magic. The track “Plain As Black And White” proved popular on U.K. soul radio.

Dr. York said he did this with hope to “reach a mass majority of my people through my music.”^[20]

He later also claimed grander musical contributions, stating at one point that “you were listening to my hits back in the 60’s and did not know it, nor did you know that songs which were considered ‘message music’ in the 70’s were written by me.”^[11]

Religious & philosophical doctrine & practice

Main article: Nuwaubianism

York has taught an ever-changing and multifaceted doctrine over the years, with influences and borrowings from many sources, that includes a baroque cosmology, unconventional theories about race and human origins, cryptozoological and extraterrestrial speculations, black nationalism, conspiracy theory, and religious practices invented or borrowed from many existing religions.

Convicted of child molestation

York exercised tight control over the sexuality of his followers. One source notes:

[W]hile extolling the virtues and importance of family life and the conjugal relationship, he denies such relationships to his followers except at strictly controlled intervals. He urges his female followers to pattern themselves on the Islamic paradigms of the wife and the mother, apparently desiring the creation of stable family units. But in reality the husbands and wives are segregated in dormitories, separated also from their children. York permits spouses to cohabit only once every three months. They are permitted to meet in the “Green Room” by prior appointment only.^[21]

In 2002, York was arrested and charged with over a hundred counts of sexually molesting dozens of children, some as young as four years old. He pled guilty in 2003 in a plea bargain that was later dismissed by the judge, and then was convicted on 23 January 2004 – the judge having rejected his desire to be returned for trial to his own tribe: “All I am asking is that the court recognize that I am an indigenous person. I am a Moorish Cherokee, and I cannot get a fair trial if I am being tried by settlers or Confederates.”^[22] Image File history File links Cover from one of Dr. Malachi Z.

He asserted to the court that he was a “secured party,” and answered questions in court with the response: “I accept that for value.” This may have been a heterodox legal strategy based on patriot mythology.^[23] Patriot mythology is a type of folklore in the United States that claims to find esoteric knowledge in various legal documents, with the general theme that some group of people has used legal trickery to usurp the authority of the United States government. ...

He was convicted of multiple RICO, child molestation, and financial reporting charges and sentenced to 135 years in prison. His case was appealed to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, but that court upheld the convictions on 27 October 2005.^[24] A U.S. Supreme Court appeal was denied in June, 2006^[25].

York as a Liberian Diplomat

As York’s followers attempt to free him they have stopped pushing the scenario that York should be considered immune from prosecution due to his status as a sovereign aboriginal Native American Moor, but now advance his claim that since 1999 York has been a Consul General of Monrovia, Liberia under appointment from then-President Charles Taylor and should therefore be given diplomatic immunity from prosecution and extradited as a persona non grata to Liberia.^[30] (In June 2005 a new web site: http://www.officialnaia.org/ – the Nuwaubian Administration of International Affairs – was inaugurated to better represent this new incarnation of York.)
