“Truth to Power is a Patheos blog founded with the belief that Muslims should be deeply concerned with the theological inquires of the most disenfranchised. As a hub of Black Muslim thought, Truth to Power, will host the “Hip-Hop Halaqas” series articulating how classical Islamic philosophy can answer theological concerns expressed in contemporary Hip-Hop, the “Enjoining Justice” series that will provide a Muslim analysis of social issues plaughing the black community, and “History Rewards Research”, which will contain rare historical information and stories about the lgacy of Black Muslims. This blog is a must-read and must watch for the study of black religion and Islam.”
