As we conclude Black History Month this year, we must recognize that every month is Black History Month. The shortest month of the year is not nearly enough to cover the sheer depth of history and Black Muslim narratives. Going forward, we hope to remain steadfast in our commitment to anti-racism and an ongoing process of learning, changing, and taking action year-round. Below, you'll find links to engage with learning more, support grassroots movements to uplift Black Muslim narratives, and further anti-racism work.
