Single video. (NTSC, North American format)
Sulayman Nyang, a history professor at Howard University and author of the book entitled "Islam In The United States of America", identifies in this talk the periods in which Islam gradually came to the attention of the American non-Muslim society. He does this by accounting for the various waves of Muslims making their way to America throughout history and the impact they've had up until the present day. These "waves" or stages of the evolution of the Muslim community in America which are discussed are five: 1) the Pre-Columbus explorers and settlers 2) the emigration of slaves 3) immigration to "the new world" 4) converts and native-born Muslims 5) the institutionalization of Islam in America. This presentation provides a wealth of information in the form of names, dates, and events for any "Islam In America" enthusiast and proves to be an invaluable source for this fascinating topic!
"One of the outcomes of the immigration of the punjabis, or the South-Asian Muslims,... is the emergence of a new ethnic group in American history and that is the punjabi Mexicans... these are Mexicans of Pakistani or Indian descent."
"You have names like Adamski, Barakovich, Islamovich, Malikski,... Sadafski- these are all Muslim names! So you have many Americans who have Muslim ancestors who they don't even know... their roots are lost. They melted into what I call the American ocean of names and faces."
"Elijah Muhammad would dominate the Nation of Islam from the early 30's until his death in February of 1975. And, of course, out of that movement you have a number of personalities who would have influence in American society. The most famous ones are Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, and Louis Farrakhan. These are the most widely known to Americans who don't have any clue as to Islam but they hear these names in the American media."
"If you read Dizzy Gilespi... his autobiography 'To Be or Not To Bop', he is saying that Islam attracted some of these African-American musicians... people like [John] Coltrain."
