This episode is a brief section of Ieasha Primes speech at the Muslim American Society and the Islamic Circle of North America 16th Annual Convention in Chicago. Ieasha Prime quotes: Fannie Lou Hamer a leader of the Civil Rights Movement said: you can pray until you faint but if you dont get up and try to do something God is not going to put it in your lap. She adds that: Allah (SWT) reminds us of this as we hear so ever often that Allah will never change the condition of the people until they change that within themselves. In order for us to be able to address all of the things in matters of civil rights. In order for us to address the topic about the dreams of African Americans and other minorities. In order for us to address the relationship the Muslims of America have with African American community we must first courageously and be willing to address the oppression and lack of civil rights and human rights internally.
