Black American Muslims represent one of the largest percentages of American Muslims. Despite mainstream public narratives to the contrary, Muslims of African descent have been in the United States before the inception of the republic and have played an integral part in the development of American society. Developing from the enslaved African Muslim experience and journeying through Black Nationalism and heterodox and orthodox Islam, the expression of Islam's formative years in America are a direct reaction to American slavery, the Jim Crow Laws, and the forced separation and breakdown of the black family. Emerging through organizations like the Ahmadiyya movement, the Moorish Science Temple, and the Nation of Islam, as well as individual Sunni, Shia, and Sufi practitioners, Islam in the Black American experience has taken shape on its own terms, experiences, and religious expression. This dissertation explores how the Islamic continuum in the Black American experience developed into its own organic expression of independence and creativity while simultaneously preserving its time-honored religious tradition.
