Throw away the white man's name you previously held, for from this day forward, you shall forever be known to your brothers and sisters as:
In order to get the most out of your new cool sounding African name you need to have it legally changed. Changing your name is a rather simple process which involves the following:
- Filling out a couple of forms.
- Take the completed forms to the Clerk of the Court's office at your local County Superior Courthouse for approval and filing.
- Obtain a hearing date from the Calendar Clerk. This is often the same person that you just saw.
- Take forms back to the Filing Clerk for required publication.
- In case of a minor, a search may be required.
- The court will charge a filing fee of about two hundred dollars. (We are not sure if Mr. Farrakhan would pick up the tab, but it might be worth looking into).
