It is with great honor that the Study Al-Islam "Life Topics" Series will reflect on the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's leadership and legacy from 1931-1975. Too many know too little or are greatly misinformed about the Hon. Elijah Muhammad's many contributions.

It was his leadership that gave prominence and acceptance to the names Allah, Islam, Muhammad, and Muslim in the West. Tune in as distinguished Presenters share incredible stories and historical accounts.

Black, American, & Muslim:
Negotiating Race, Class, and Gender

Saturday, July 1, 2017 from 11:30a-12:30p

Black American Muslim women have been leading voices on the struggle for social justice in America. Why then is there constant erasure of their experiences? Join an honest con- versation negotiating race, class, and gender with an educator and daughter of a historic American Muslim movement; an artist, activist, and professor of African American Studies and Anthropology; an award-winning scholar on race, gender, and Islam; and an outspoken Sudanese American activist as moderator. Session 6E in Room 26

Speakers: Jamillah Karim, Su’ad Abdul Khabeer, Laila Muhammad
Host: Hind Makki

Imam W. Deen Mohammed:
Life, Thought and Influence

Saturday, July 1, 2017 from 5-6p

IWDM (1933-2008) is rarely discussed in the academic community, but the voice of this African American, related to such things as politics, economics, race and religion, is important for our environment and times. As an American born Muslim, he falls in the same category as such a figure as the late Muhammad Alexander Russel Webb. Like Webb, a European American, IWDM was committed to the principle of Tauhid, which manifested in his spirituality and the individuals that studied his teachings. Session 9B in Room 10–11

Speakers: Abdul Rahim Muhammad, Laila Muhammad
Discussant: Mikal Naeem Nash

Cultural Ingenuity (Part 5):
Call Me Bilalian!: Race, Religion, and Struggles for Social Justice

Sunday, July 2, 2017 from 5-6p

Black Americans were searching for a more representative name to call themselves in the late 20th century. Imam W.D. Mohammed chose a name that shifted away from the focus of color to spiritual ascendency and that didn’t erase their struggles for social justice. His Qur’an-based call to humanity, on behalf of his community, reveals universal lessons we can still bene t from in today’s climate of increased racial tension. Session 16B in Room 10–11

Speakers: Precious Rasheed Muhammad, Laila Muhammad
Moderator: Hind Makki

Uniquely Delicious are We
A poem by Sister Laila

peppers potatoes tomatoes greens carrots lentils beans corn and peas
In a big pot
Melting melting away?
The beauty disappears as it blends
Individual uniqueness can't be found
Turn down the heat!
Then again just turn the heat off!
Take peppers of all kind hot and sweet
Potatoes sweet red white purple and gold
Tomatoes steak and cherry
Collards spinach kale arugula and swish chard
Baby carrots for crunch lentils
Black navy pito and gaboso beans
Try colored corn and baby june pes
Now don't put them in a pot and definitely no heat!
Make them clean cool and crisp!
Put them in a big glass bowl...
Let the beauty and uniqueness be seen from every angle!
Then sprinkled some constitutional American spice!
Oh....What a great life!
