Black Muslims

Black Muslims is a name that has been used for members of several related religious groups in the United States. Almost all the members have been African Americans. Two of the groups have been known as the Nation of Islam. They include the original Black Muslim organization, which operated from 1930 to 1975, and a group founded by American minister Louis Farrakhan in 1977. The name Black Muslims is widely used today even though members of the groups have rejected the name. More »
