Muhammad Salahuddeen (1930 - 2007) was the founder of the UNIVERSITY of the STREETS. A place where youth of the community would come to learn basic electricity, plumbing, and carpentry to prepare themselves to go into construction or other fields. Most of the students in the program also received their High School Diplomas. The university offers classes in music in the form of vocal workshops, musical instrument instruction, music theory, art, jam sessions and of course martial arts.I am very proud to say that Muhammad was one of my teachers of life and Islam. Happy to be here since the begining, I've seen the growth of many people , myself included, at the university. Muhammad's dedication to the University of the Streets was evidence of the institution's relationship with the community. I am happy to continue the legacy here at the U.O.T.S. and its open door policy. The Nisei Goju Hombu Dojo heads their martial arts department offering classes in Tai Chi Chuan Yang Style,Tai Chi Sword, Nisei Go Ju Karate, Ju Jit su, and Nisei Arnis Jitsu. We continue with our duty to the University of the Streets.
*On Saturday January 27, 2008, The University of the Streets and I invite you to a Benefit Memorial for Muhammad and University of the Streets. It's going to be a blast. Starting at 3pm- until with musical selections by performing artists from all over. Great food, drinks, and music will be served, AWESOME. I'll be one of the hosts of the event.

Muhammad Salahuddeen will be missed by the many lives that he has touched.
