African-American Muslims, also colloquially known as Black Muslims, are an African American religious minority.[1] African American Muslims account for over 20% of American Muslims.[2] They represent one of the larger minority Muslim populations of the United States as there is no ethnic group that makes up the majority of American Muslims.[3] They are represented in Sunni and Shia denominations as well as smaller sects, such as the Nation of Islam. The history of African-American Muslims is related to African-American history in general, and goes back to the Revolutionary and Antebellum eras.[4]
