History

Marysya12 [62]3 years ago

Answer:  B) It was one of the most segregated cities in America.

Details:  In point of fact, Birmingham was known by reputation as "the most segregated city in America."  In his Letter from a Birmingham Jail, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said that he  had come to Birmingham because injustice existed there, in the same way that Old Testament prophets had left their own towns and villages to go and confront injustice in other towns in their day.

Birmingham also became a central point of focus because of a tragedy that had occurred there.  In September, 1963, the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham was bombed in an act of terrorism by Ku Klux Klan members. Four black girls (ages 11-14) were killed, and and fourteen other persons at the church were injured.  The bombing in Birmingham sparked the African American community into strong action in Alabama to push for the rights of black citizens.

What does the Qur'an say about slavery?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Hello

Explanation:

Throughout history, there are an overwhelming number of cases where Muslims purchased the freedom of slaves who they themselves did not own. The most famous case of this was the manumission of Bilal, one of the first people to embrace Islam. Bilal, a black Muslim, is today remembered foremost as the first muezzin in Islam. The word muezzin describes a person who makes the call to prayer, and it is one of the most honorable stations that a person can reach in the establishment of the five daily prayers. Bilal, a former slave, made the call to prayer on top of the Ka’ba, the holiest site in Islam. This suggests that, not only is the manumission of slaves encouraged in Islam, but that allowing and aiding former slaves in the attainment of high social positions is an established aspect of Islam’s prophetic tradition.

Hope it helps
