Beginning: Conversations with Black Muslims in America
While filming UnMosqued, we met many Black Muslims who have build institutions and led communities. But their stories were very different from the stories of Muslims of Arab and South Asian descent. Their history was different, their attitudes towards life was different, and even their approach to very simple things, such as the barrier in the mosque, was different.
Conversations with Black Muslims in America is a series of video interviews with Black Muslims in America from different backgrounds about various issues. The point of the series will be to show some of the stories / challenges that black Muslims face, as well as show some of their accomplishments.
