African-American Muslims, also known as Black Muslims, are an African-American religious minority.[1] African-American Muslims account for over 20% of American Muslims.[2] They represent one of the larger Muslim populations of the United States as there is no ethnic group that makes up the majority of American Muslims.[3] They mostly belong to the Sunni sect, but smaller Shia and Nation of Islam minorities also exist. The history of African-American Muslims is related to African-American history in general, and goes back to the Revolutionary and Antebellum eras.[4]
