Join us for this year's New College Black History Lecture where we host a conversation with Imam Mustafa Briggs about his new book, "Beyond Bilal: Black History in Islam."
This timely work uncovers the deep-seated relationship between Islam and Black History, from the Qur'anic period, Companions of the Prophet, and early generations of Muslim scholars to the rich history of Islam in Africa and the vital role of women's scholarship in the West African Islamic Tradition.
Jointly Sponsored by the School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh Islamic Society, Race.Ed, and Edinburgh Race Equality Network.
