Learn about New York through four centuries of Muslim history, with a focus on the sites and sounds of Harlem. The tour brings to life interracial stories of labor movements, halal food, anti-colonialism, and the prolific life of Malcolm X. Through the Great Migration or more recent immigration, we will see how Muslim intellectuals, artists, and communities have shaped the city. Learn about the links between jazz and Islam at the Apollo Theatre, the presence of a Sufi saint on Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard, and more!
