The Muslim Girls Training & General Civilization Class is one of the institutions established in 1933 by Wallace Fard Muhammad, founder of the Nation of Islam.
[5] MGT & GCC schools existed throughout much of the United States, including in New York, Detroit, Chicago, and Philadelphia, many remaining till today.
[6] The MGT & GCC classes were organized much like the military: at the top position was the Sister Captain, followed by lieutenants, secretaries, and squad leaders.
[8] The classes were meant as a way to purity, protect, and support Muslim girls and women, promising shelter from the devil and wicked non-believers.
[14] The classes were developed to teach domestic duties like cooking and nutrition, sewing, cleaning, housekeeping, child bearing, religious instruction, and personal hygiene.
