AL-ISLAM and AFRO-CENTRICITY at HCBUs (Historically Black Colleges &Universities

WORDS MAKE PEOPLE - On Sunday April 10, 2016 from 1-3 p.m. EST

Join me, Michael Saahir and my co-host Mustaffaa Abdullah in discussion with our special guest Dr. Amiri Al-Hadid of Nashville, TN and Brother Ameen Muhammad of Los Angeles, CA as we discuss: AL-ISLAM and AFRO-CENTRICITY at HCBUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities).

 Imam W. Deen Mohammed stated that “Afrocentricity, minus Islam, is a cheat!” Those words still strongly resonate in the mind, heart and souls of his followers. On many collegiate level campuses African American history departs have been created or expanded to include deeper studies on the contributions of, and the diaspora of African and her children.

Dr. Al-Hadid served as chair of Tennessee State University Faculty Senate, chair of Africana Studies and is a professor. He is active in the National Council for Black Studies, the Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations, and the Association of Social and Behavioral Scientists.

Brother Ameen Mohammed is the author of the book, “AFROCENTRICITY, MINUS AL-ISLAM, CHEATS--: EXPOSING THE CONSPIRACY TO ROB AFRICAN AMERICANS OF THEIR MOST PRECIOUS HERITAGE”

A challenge many Muslim college students face is the aggressive methods many college history professors use as they charge, “Islam as being a slave-making religion.” On many campuses there are attempts to totally remove Islam from African studies.

This version of WORDS MAKE PEOPLE will address these challenges including what should we be doing to address these concerns.
