About Muslim Voices
​
Muslim Voices is a national community history project, founded by Scribe Video Center in Philadelphia, where individuals and communities learn media making and explore the use of video as both an artistic medium and as a tool for progressive social change. Muslim Voices was designed to highlight and celebrate the presence, history, contributions and challenges of African American Muslims in America. In this initiative, members of mosques, masjids, schools, cultural centers, and other Muslim groups combine archival research, ethnography, oral history, and digital media to create short documentary films exploring and amplifying the rich stories, histories, and perspectives of their communities.

This year, Scribe will partner with Express Newark's Community Media Center (CMC) to launch the initiative here in Newark, New Jersey, providing instruction and media tools to traditionally underrepresented Muslim groups in the Greater Newark Area so that they can research and share the stories, significant events, achievements, and issues that are part of both the history of Islam in the Newark area and the city itself.
