Word of Wisdom: Before being unwillingly brought to America in bondage, many of those who would become slaves followed e religion of Al-Islam or held religious beliefs deriving from their respective tribes. Additionally, the first Muslims to observe Ramadan in America were slaves who snuck off into the field to pray.
Again, Happy Black History Month everyone! Make sure that you make the most out of this month.
