islam, past, present, and future: summary

I'm stealing so much content, that someone ought to cut off the right-click button from my mouse. Anyway, from The Manrilla Blog here is an entry called: Islam, Past, Present & Future: Summary describing a recent talk given by Prof. Sherman Abdul-Hakim Jackson at U Penn about the development and maturation of the community of Blackamerican (one word) Muslims. Read this, especially if you are one.
