In this op-ed for Religion News Service, Michael Wolfe (MOST Co-Director, and a filmmaker and poet) takes a deep look at the history of African American’s protest and resistance — reminding us of the Islamic backstory when “the first New World revolt against slavery was led by West African Muslims in the Dominican Republic in 1522.”
He continues, “The prolific 19th-century scholar Omar bin Said in the Carolinas and the pre-Abolitionist hero Prince Abdul Rahman Ibrahim in Natchez, Mississippi, were among the forefathers of the Black Pride we see today.”
