Shama Farag: Why Muslims too Should Learn about Juneteenth? Bless the Roots!

This is one of the BEST yet quickest lectures/seminars that discussed why American Muslims regardless of their backgrounds should give extra attention to the African American History from an Islamic lens Perspective. MashaAllah!

The lecture has the background educational element, the narrative element “what it really means to be an American Muslim with true history and preserved roots to this country”, it has the historical facts, real people from the tradition with open hearts coming to you at your mosque with your like minded community sharing and refelecting on their ancestors’ history and how we as a nation can best utilize this opportunity to heal the divides and bridge the gaps and block the unintentional intellectual and historical gentrification that has been going on for decades.

And the leadership in this org is allowing community dialogue and dedicating their platform for honest and dignified voices and not only trendy and commercial voices.

What a great example to follow!

Community building starts with amplifying truthful stories, dignifying the stories of true struggles, and encouraging unity, brotherhood, promoting true equity and appreciating diverse leadership.
