As salaamulaikum Brother. I myself am a African Muslim in America of slave desent.I think that it is vital that all African-Americans learn about Islam about Alislam (orthodox Islam).Speeking of history watch Alex Haley's Roots and you can see proof of African slaves praying to God calling him Allah but somewhere along the years of oppression and lost idenity all of them were made to be what ever their oppressors wanted (Christians that is) and a vast number of them never found there way back and some won't even acknowledge the truth Ahumduallah those brothers who brought Islam back to us reguardless of their teaching.
