Join us as we begin by reviewing what the trans-Atlantic slave trade was and how Muslim slaves were affected. We will review specific stories of exceptional individuals from this phenomenon. These include Abdul Rahman Ibrahim and Ayub ibn Solomon Dijalllo. How was the life of Muslim slaves in America and how they retained their faith under chattel slavery? We will also explore the narrative of Muslims in America before Columbus was said to have discovered America. As well as discuss how Islamic teachings did a far better job of dismantling the slave system, as opposed to the Emancipation Proclamation of chattel slavery in America, which then led to a period of re-construction.
