The Pittsburgh chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Pittsburgh) <\/span> is proud to offer “In Their Footsteps: An American Muslim Civil Rights Journey” <\/strong><\/span>documentary and discussion<\/span><\/em> for Black History Month. <\/span>Schools, Masjids, and Interfaith groups<\/span><\/em> are invited to our screening led by civil rights icon, <\/span>Mustafaa Carroll<\/span><\/a> who is featured in the documentary. This<\/span> 22-minute<\/span><\/strong> documentary follows some<\/span> 30 American Muslim civil rights leaders<\/span><\/strong> as they journey through Alabama in April 2018 to learn about the history of slavery, lynching, segregation, and present-day racial injustice.<\/span><\/p>\n

You will hear deep personal and emotional reflections from American Muslims, including African-Americans, who lived through segregation and Jim Crow laws, and for whom the journey brought back memories from their own lives. <\/span><\/p>\n

After the screening, Mustafaa Carroll will lead us to discuss the film to gain a more profound personal experience of the civil rights movement. <\/span><\/p>\n
