Centering Black Narratives in Islam | Imam Dawud Walid

The Black Muslim Initiative and the Islamic Institute of Toronto collaborate in a lively and engaging discussion that seeks to center narratives pertaining to the identities, classifications and issues of the early Muslim community. This conversation seeks to help us understand how Muslims have traditionally understood the black presence within Islam. It will also be exploring the intersection of what it means to be both black and Muslim in our current time and how this impacts both Muslim and black communities. The Speaker, Dawud Walid, is currently the Executive Director of the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI) Event was hosted by Imam Yasin Dwyer (University Chaplain @RyersonU @mc_ryerson Board Member @SilkRoadCanada)
