History of Islam and Muslims in America America's Islamic Heritage Museum opened to the public on April 30, 2011. Located in Washington, DC it is a continuation of the traveling exhibition, Collections and Stories of American Muslims (CSAM) which was established as a non-profit in 1996.
(55)
Before opening the museum, CSAM traveled domestically and internationally to better inform the public of the early and continued presence of Muslims in America. Throughout American history Islam and Muslims has always been present as a culture with religious influence. Muslims of various backgrounds have come to these shores in successive waves since the earliest navigators up until present day. The goal of America's Islamic Heritage Museum is to collect and preserve those stories for posterity. The exhibits bring to life America's rich Islamic heritage with some eye opening photographs, documents, and objects, which reflect America's rich culture diversity connecting Muslims to early America. Our exhibits are empowering and insightful. They are great educational tools for the public.

Who was Bilal Ibn Rabah and what does he mean to African American Muslims? Brother Amir Mohammed discusses this and reflects on how Imam Warith Deen Muhammad worked to celebrate Black Muslim heritage while also moving away from a focus on race and moving closer to a focus on humanity and spirituality.

Pioneer Poetry
Poetry has been a medium through which history and culture has been preserved since the beginning of time. Islamically, scholars have explained complex concepts through this medium, and as Black descendants of Africa, griots were major and important pieces of our societal puzzle. Join us for a live recording of some of our pioneers who not only have shaped and fought for our right to live peacefully in this land as Muslims, but who also posses major poetical talent. You may be surprised by their roots! See you soon!

A Clipping from an interview with French TV in 2011
This is a clipping from a French interview at our first Museum space in 2011. I am sorry about the format the original video will not upload. I forgot all about his interview until the last visitors from French came by the museum and after such long discussion. I will do one more clip take they did about the NOI check it out.
A 2011 clipping from a French TV program about Muslims in America
This a clipping of Professor Dr. Yvonne Haddad from a 2011 interview. In 2011 I had an interview with a french tv station that did a program about Muslim in America. Sorry about the format, this was the only way I knew how to up look this video format type online. I will work on getting this done soon.
