There were many Muslims in America long before the "Nation of Islam. Some historians report at least one third of Africans who were captured and forcibly transported to the north west colonies by European slavers were Muslims. Though they were unable to openly practice their religion for obvious reasons; the spirit of Islam was with them. And indeed they were of varying schools of thought. See the Prince Among Slaves. And of course there are contemporary groups such as the Moorish Americans Americans, However I know of none other Muslim communities, regardless of race or nationality that nationally impacted the African American community like that of the Nation of Islam. This community concerned itself more with the social, economical and educational development of the African American. This community, led in up lifting African American people, while America in general esteemed this community as unworthy. to be unworthy of freedom justice and equality.. Thanks for your comments and insight. They are greatly appreciated. Respectfully, Imam S. R. Sharif I agree with you my Brother. There were many Muslims in America long before the “Nation of Islam.

I just have one question; what about the other African American Islamic communities, such as Darul Islam, the Islamic Party of North America, and the Mosque of Islamic Brotherhood? We can't forget about them because they were a vital part to the development of Islam in African American communities.
