Enslaved Muslims resisted the slave code and rebelled against slave masters before the United States was a sovereign nation. They built roads and railroads, cities and state buildings, without compensation. “After two hundred fifty years of slavery. Ninety years of Jim Crow. Sixty years of separate but equal,” they are still denied reparations.
