Attended a weekend training workshop for newly minted college admissions

GRANT FUNDED FIELD STUDY
Conducted a field study of Islam among blacks in early America titled: “What
Americans do not know but should know about Islam in early America”
fundedby the American Political Science Association in December 2000.
This field study was conducted in northern and central Florida at sites in St.
Augustine and Ft. Mose, a corruption of the name Musa --the Arabic word for
Moses, first adopted by its original turban-wearing African and Seminole
Indian inhabitants. Research was also conducted in the St. John River valley
and in Gainesville and Orlando. Activities included a five-day long
examination of early historical sites and examination of primary source
documents housed in the Florida Historical Society in St. Augustine, Florida,
(established in 1565), the oldest European settlement in North America. This
field study explored an archeological excavation at Fort Mose led by a
prominent research team at the University of Florida as well as the community
of Lincolnville, formerly known as Africville in St. Augustine, which may be
the oldest known black community in what would later become the United
States. The French settlement at St. Augustine predates the first British
settlement at Jamestown, Virginia in 1619 and housing structures built by
enslaved Africans which predate the US White House in Washington, D.C.
described by former First Lady, Michelle Obama, as being built by enslaved
Africans. This highly original research predates other more widely-known
studies on Islam among blacks in early America including archeological and
historical studies of the life and family of Saleh Bilali of Sapelo Island,
Georgia. Information from this research has led to publications in prominent
international journals and predates the 9-11 attacks on the US to offer a
counter narrative to the popular myth that Islam and Muslims represent an
inherent threat to the US and to the equally dangerous myth that militant Islam
only first reached American shores with the tragic attacks of 9-11.
