As Salaam Alaykhum Dear Friends,

We at AISSHA (the newly-emerging “Africana Islamic Social Sciences and Humanities Association”) would like to express our deep gratitude to all of the speakers, sponsors, event planners, chefs, videographers, technicians, Museum Director and Museum personnel, virtual participants, chauffeurs, and fellow admirers and students of El-Hajj Malik Shabazz (Malcolm X) that made our gathering possible. Being able to celebrate the 100th birth anniversary of Brother Malcolm in Dakar, Senegal was undoubtedly a historic event that will sit in our hearts for a long time. As those of us who were able to experience, whether in person or virtually, we understand that this was not some mere “conference”—this was an opportunity to craft “sacred space.” And that is exactly what we did. Every single person contributed to the beauty and the light that we shared.

As promised, we are working diligently with our videography team, Dakar-based Buzzlab Studios, to ensure that we are able to make all of the recordings and other items available to view online as quickly as we can. Rather than simply post the raw video(s), we are taking the time to edit and apply graphics where possible to ensure an enjoyable viewing experience. Please stay tuned for future events, publications, and other programs that we intend to share with you!

Jerejef!

AISSHA
