DESCRIPTION:A presentation with the New Jersey Muslim Heritage Month Coali
 tion.\nhttps://edisonpubliclibrary.libnet.info/event/15377776
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The New Jersey Muslim Heritage Month Coali
 tion and Dr. Mohammad Hatim explore the deep roots of Muslims in the Ameri
 cas and the legacy of Black leadership. Muslims have been present since th
 e 13th century&mdash\;arriving as Gulf Coast explorers\, serving as naviga
 tors on early voyages including those of Columbus\, and leading expedition
 s into what later became Arizona and New Mexico. Following the fall of Wes
 t African empires like Mali and Songhai\, many were brought to the America
 s as enslaved Africans\, carrying rich Islamic traditions that helped shap
 e American life. The talk will also reflect on the modern legacy of Black 
 Muslim leaders\; most notably El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (Malcolm X)\, and h
 ow his journey intersects with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.&rsquo\;s vision 
 of the beloved community\, justice\, dignity\, and human rights.</p>\nhttp
