The Nation of Islam also contributed to the civil rights movement by encouraging Black pride, self-help, and economic autonomy among African Americans. Throughout the civil rights era, the Nation of Islam's theology and methods aligned very little with mainstream civil rights organizations, but, as one recent account argued, Black Muslims will forever be remembered for 'how they promised Black dignity.' The practical theology of self-respect, rigorous discipline, and racial uplift taught by the Nation of Islam's leaders supplied the grounding sought by many Black Muslims to engage an apartheid America.
The history of Islam's role in the civil rights movement continues to resonate: Muslim Americans look to this past for inspiration in the contemporary social movements for racial justice and equality. This book helps us recognize how Islam can intersect with social justice and provide Muslims with moral clarity and strength in standing against structural oppression. Islam calls for justice, equality, and the equal protection of human dignity. Its legacy and teachings remain relevant to civil rights struggles for justice and equality in the United States and beyond. The fight for justice requires scholarly and activist collaboration, and no matter what our race, nationality, or religion, there is much we can learn from and do together.
