On March 29th, GISC hosted Dr. Su'ad Abdul Khabeer and Dr. Rasul Miller for a lecture on Black Muslim Revolutions: From the Masjid to the World, moderated by Dr. Aliyah Khan. Meet the speakers: Dr. Su’ad Abdul Khabeer is a scholar, artist, activist, and author of Muslim Cool: Race, Religion, and Hip Hop in the United States (2016). In her most recent work, Umi’s Archive, Dr. Abdul Khabeer examines the intersections of official history and the untold stories of Black women and Black Muslims through the lens of her mother’s life. Umi means mother in Arabic, and Dr. Abdul Khabeer examines her mother’s photographic and literary archives, and so the digital exhibition series is Umi's Archive. The project sees everyday Black women as people who know things we all need to know.
