From Mecca to America

From Mecca to America: Islamic Origins, African Flourishing, and American Transformations

Join this noted local African-American Muslim leader for a rich introduction to Islam’s basic beliefs, principles and practices, and the fascinating story of its growth from Arabia, to the thriving kingdoms of West Africa.

You’ll then trace the journey of African Muslims to the Americas, the rise of the ‘Black Muslim’ movement, and the emergence of ‘Sunni’ African-American communities that continue to grow and make vital community contributions across the U.S.
