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 See the full ISNA program of events.
