overlooked that Drew's adoption of the titles 'Noble' and 'Prophet' were borrowed from Masonic circles, and not ever intended to be an affront to Sunni orthodoxy (Abu Shouk, Hunwick and O'Fahey 1993).

Most literature on the founding prophet of the Moorish Science Temple of America (MSTA), Noble Drew Ali (1886-1929), has either treated his murky origins cursorily or hagiographically exaggerated and romanticised his roots.

Recent fortuitous discoveries of Drew's pre-Moorish documents have enabled historians to reconstruct a more empirical account of the Moorish prophet.

While tampering with Drew's legacy could open a Pandora's box, with unforeseen circumstances that would bring no discernible benefit to contemporary Moorish-American Sheiks, the MSTA laity deserves knowledge of its genuine historical past unencumbered from crudely constructed myths (Wilson 1993).

Newly unearthed census and city records disclosed that dogmatic MSTA narrations on Drew's genealogical roots were specious. Drew Ali was born Thomas Drew on January 8, 1886 in Norfolk, Virginia.

By 1898, he was adopted by James Washington Drew and Lucy Drew, an African-American couple residing in 411 Princess Anne Avenue, Norfolk, Virginia (United States Federal Census 1900)
As a teenager, the illiterate Drew worked as a common labourer, rural farn hand, and wharf longshoreman in the southern port city to supplement his adopted parents' wages (Abdat 2014).

However, like many black Norfolk labor-ers, the Drews were paid little, and could not catapult themselves into the black bourgeois class.

As such, Drew explored new prospects in other cities plying his trade first as a porter in Richmond, Virginia in 1916 and then as a shipyard labourer for the Submarine Boat Corporation in Newark, New Jersey, answering America's call in the industrial war effort.

On September 12, 1918, Drew reported to a public school in Bruce Street, Newark, New Jersey for the Third Draft registration as part of the volunteer-conscripted American army in the Great War. A routine medical examination revealed "badly burnt" forearm muscles (United States wwI Draft Registration Card 1918) and Drew subsequently failed the criteria for induction.

After World War 1, the company folded leaving Drew unemployed.
In large part, between 1916 and 1923, Drew resided in 181 Warren Street,
Newark, New Jersey together with Louisa Gaines, a married Virginian, in a mixed neighbourhood. Drew alternated between working in a barber shop and as "street preacher" (United States Federal Census 1920).

For the latter, Drew attired himself in a loosely fitting multi-colored gown, covered his head with a brilliant purple hood and cosmetically redesigned himself as "Professor Thomas Drew, the Egyptian Adept Student," an East Indian from Virginia who ate nails and cured blind soldiers.

His vast clientele sought him for a wide range of services including crystal-gazing, advice on love-affairs, and eastern wisdom such as the forgotten eighteen years of Jesus Christ's life.

Swiftly he emerged as black Newark's leading faith healer amidst the crowded (and competitive) religious market place of seers, mystics, palmists, professors and princes who taught mystical sciences since the turn of the twentieth century (Dorman 2009). At this juncture, Drew was still un-fezzed, unaffiliated to a Moorish lineage, but had already fashioned himself as a true Orientalist Muslim.
