"Reclaiming Our Youth"
The Lamppost Education Initiative presents our 3rd Annual Black American Muslim Conference. This conference is a 2-day gathering of national and local leaders, educators, activists, and achievers united by the concern for the future of Islam in the black American community. The conference will consist of multiple onstage panel discussions, lectures, Quranic recitation, poetry and more.
The focus for our conference this year is our youth. What do we need to do to preserve our Islamic community and continue our legacy ? How do we engage and encourage our youth towards the Qur’an and the Sunnah of our Prophet (saws)?
The conference is open to all registrants regardless of ethnicity or religion. Due to limited space, we highly encourage interested parties to register as soon as possible.
