- Islam
From BHM colourway sneakers to police cruisers with Kente cloth patterns on them, what is the point of calling the shortest and coldest (in the north) month of the year Black History Month?
Shaykh Abdullah shares his alternative view of Black history in the west and how it intertwines with Islam. This discussion isn't about reliving the trauma of our ancestors, it's about how people of all cultures can learn from the wisdom and strength of the Black people off whose backs we can enjoy the life we live today in most western nations.
