In celebration of this year\u2019s\u00a0Black History Month<\/a>, US Black Muslim Authors have come together this month (February) in a series of virtual discussions about the intersections and influence of race and faith on their work as part of the 3rd Black Muslim Authors Conference (BMAcon<\/a>).<\/p>\n

BMAcon has hosted a series of live panel sessions on\u00a0About Islam<\/a>\u00a0Facebook page, which has over 380 thousand followers.<\/p>\n
