We are six years removed from the horrific events that took place on Sept. 11. When reflecting on a traumatic experience we can get stuck on the past instead of using that memory to propel us into the present, which at one point was our future.

Factional differences have always been an obstacle for Muslims and began very early on, crippled our solidarity and left us with a severe handicap. It affected our choice of leadership and even led to violence, in some cases. If it wasn’t tribalism, nationalism or classism, we have undergone every other sort of ism one can imagine.

February marks the commemoration of “Black History Month”, but one month alone doesn’t do this inheritance justice. Twenty eight days is simply not adequate to rejoice in the contributions of African descendants in this country.
