Tariq Abdul-Rashid was a character in Cecil Price's recurring nightmare caused by the role he played in the murder of three civil rights workers in Mississippi in 1964. Price's nightmare was built on the idea that the racial hierarchy in Mississippi was inverted. In this setting, Shabazz was a Black Muslim from the North, who, along with fellow Muslim Muhammad Shabazz, traveled to Mississippi to help promote civil rights for whites as part of the Racial Alliance for Complete Equality (RACE).
