Preparations were in high gear for tomorrow afternoon's arrival of Minister Louis Farrakhan, but the visit has been cancelled.
The announcement came out this morning that Farrakhan - who is 79 - has fallen ill in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands.
That was the fifth stop on his 7 nation Caribbean tour - and he has had to cancel visits to Bahamas and Belize.
A press release form the local organizer says that Farrakhan is suffering from exhaustion and dehydration and did not speak in St. Croix.
Doctors have strongly recommended immediate rest.
No plans have been announced for a make-up visit by the Leader of the Nation of Islam.
