Portals of Learning: Visual Pathways in African Islam

In this video, community organizer Umar Hakim reflects on the power of African Islam and its underrecognized history. Discussing artwork inspired by Senegalese leaders, Hakim emphasizes that art can agitate curiosity, spark learning, and inspire action against injustice. He encourages viewers to see themselves reflected in the images and to recognize their own purpose and responsibility in promoting justice, echoing Islamic teachings to address injustice through action, speech, or intention.
