"When people talk about what it means to be black in the United States, they don’t talk about the Muslim experience,” says Su’ad Abdul Khabeer, a scholar, artist and activist. “And when they talk about the Muslim experience in the United States, they don’t talk about African-Americans. Black Muslims are not part of the popular imagination.” Khabeer aims to change that perception through books like “Muslim Cool” and online projects like Sapelo Square, named after one of the country’s first Muslim communities. Khabeer, who has studied in Syria and elsewhere, is now an associate professor of Muslim-American studies at the University of Michigan. (from the CNN article)
