Tea Talk: On Being Muslim in the Deep North
November 4, 2018 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Free and open to the public
One-third of Muslims in the United States are Black, and many African immigrants resettled in New England over the past two decades are Muslim. Despite this, pervasive images of Muslims are limited to people of Arab identity. For this panel, presenters will explore the intersections of their identities as Black Muslims living in post 9/11 New England. Their shared stories will offer perspective and insights about what it means to be part of a religious group that is broadly misunderstood, mischaracterized and even persecuted within mainstream American culture, one whose tenets include freedom of religion for all.
Presenters: Robert Azzi, Rashida Mohamed, Daouda Dieng & Kafisa Ibrahim
Moderator: Kayla Page
