Legacy & Excellence of Black Muslim Communities Workshop
To commemorate Black History Month, the EDI Office is hosting "Legacy & Excellence of Black Muslim Communities".
Â
This workshop will begin with an overview mapping the diverse intersections comprising the Black Muslim experience in Canada, including a discussion of Anti-Black Islamophobia. This overview will be followed with a historical outlook drawing attention to the excellence, resilience, and resistance of Black Muslim communities globally. Attention will be given to the untold stories of Black Muslim change-makers who historically shifted the tides of their time. The workshop will conclude with practical resources and recommendations meant to support continual efforts of recognizing and affirming the wide-spanning contributions of Black Muslims in the making of our contemporary world.
