Naomi Gaines yelled "Freedom!" during the 75-foot drop from the bridge and continued screaming the word as onlookers rescued her and one of her 14-month-old boys, Supreme Knowledge Allah. Gaines' twins were named in the fashion of the Five Percenters, a semi-religious cult that split from the Nation of Islam and believes black people are gods. The boys' father, Khalid Yazid Allah, could not be reached for comment Monday. Family members said he and other relatives had helped Gaines with her children.
