Black History

Black History Month is an excellent opportunity to learn about the civil rights struggles of African-Americans. It can also be an opportunity to learn more about the early history of Islam in the United States. There are some great resources available online and in written form.

If you're looking for an important Muslim African woman to talk about during Black History month, look no further than the life of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and the woman he described as "(my) mother after my own mother. She is the rest of my family."

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is commemorated annually in the United States on the third Monday of January, in honor of the January 15 birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was a leader of the American civil rights movement.

“History repeats itself but in such cunning disguise that we never detect
the resemblance until the damage is done.”
Sydney J. Harris, American journalist
