Curator's Notes:

Using the hashtag #BlackInMSA, in November 2017 the anti-racism organization, MuslimARC, initiated a conversation on the experiences of Black Muslim undergrads with the national student organization, the Muslim Student's Association. Since then the hashtag has been used to raise awareness of anti-Blackness in Muslim campus groups and beyond. The items in this collection offer a historical perspective on relationships between Black and non-Black Muslims through Umi's experience with the MSA.
