This is such an important intervention. Many of the enslaved practiced Islam. We have been miseducated to believe that the enslaved had no history, but they did. Many were scholars and doctors and astronomers and lawyers. They were educated and came from communities with deep ties. As many celebrate Ramadan around the world, we should remember those who practiced in secret.
