Did you know that Thomas Jefferson owned a copy of the Qur’an? That George Washington owned enslaved people who were Muslim? And that a Muslim diplomat broke his Ramadan fast in the White House in 1805? These are some of the facts that Aymann Ismail (staff writer, Slate Magazine) discovers as he explores the role that Muslims played in the imagination of America’s founding generation. Aymann’s journey takes him from George Washington’s Mount Vernon to Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello but begins in the Library of Congress. Here he sees two books that symbolize the promise and contradictions of the early Republic; Jefferson’s copy of the Qur’an and an autobiography written by an enslaved African Muslim, Omar Ibn Said, who was brought to the United States during Jefferson’s presidency. Through these books, Ayman discovers how some Muslims were included in the founders’ vision of religious freedom in the nascent Republic, while other Muslims were denied all their rights, because of their race and legal status.

The film features interviews with Keith Ellison (the first Muslim elected to Congress,) Denise A. Spellberg (author of Thomas Jefferson’s Qur’an: Islam and the Founders), and Jeffrey Einboden (author of Jefferson’s Muslim Fugitives: The Lost Story of Enslaved Africans, their Arabic Letters, and an American President).

Slavery has existed in Africa for as long as recorded history. Ancient Egypt had slaves toiling away in its fields and on its monuments, ancient Carthage trafficked in slaves across the Mediterranean, and the Ethiopian kings of Aksum wrote proudly of the slaves they took in war. Slaves were also exported from Africa for centuries before Europeans arrived. The Trans-Saharan slave trade lasted for over a thousand years and dragged about 10 million people across the desert to be slaves in the Islamic world. The Indian Ocean also had a similarly long-lasting ocean-going slave trade with about 5 million ending up in slave ships, bound and branded for use in foreign lands. These slaves ended up as labourers, domestic servants, soldiers, or more. Male slaves in the Islamic world were typically castrated which meant that new slaves had to be regularly imported to maintain the population.

For this video, we’ll focus on Western Africa where the Atlantic slave trade was centred. West Africa was removed from the Indian Ocean trade and mostly secure from Islamic slave raids, but slavery was still a feature of life there long before the Atlantic slave trade began. A succession of powerful empires occupied the region which all rested on complex slave systems. The Ghanaian Empire from the 3rd to the 13th century began a tradition of powerful West African imperial states and built much of its wealth through trans-Saharan trading of slaves or goods acquired through slave labour.

The Salt, copper, and gold that made the Mali Empire and Mansa Musa fabulously wealthy were all extracted with slave labour. Domestic slavery was also common and Mali was known to import female slaves from the Mediterranean to act as domestic servants in the households of the elites. Most of the slaves were acquired through conquest of neighbouring kingdoms or tribal groups who were too weak to defend themselves from the organised imperial militaries. Successor empires like the Songhai, Jolof, and Kaabu inherited the social and economic structures of slavery and continued to acquire slaves as they scrambled to establish their own territories. Elites in these empires used slaves as a status symbol and ownership of slaves came to represent someone’s wealth and power.

YEXPOSED: The hidden truth behind Gaddafi's assassination and how Captain Ibrahim Traore is now continuing the dangerous fight for African financial liberation.

🔍 In 2011, Muammar Gaddafi was brutally silenced just months before launching his gold-backed African currency that threatened Western financial control. Now, Burkina Faso's Traore emerges as Africa's potential savior against the same system.

This investigative exposé reveals:
- The CLASSIFIED Clinton emails confirming Gaddafi was eliminated over his gold dinar plan
- How 144 tons of Libyan gold nearly freed an entire continent from dollar dependency
- Why NATO launched 26,500 airstrikes against a "humanitarian crisis" while ignoring others
- The CFA Franc system that extracts billions from African economies annually
- How French control of African currencies enables continued resource exploitation
- Traore's bold moves against neocolonial financial structures and Western influence

Is history repeating itself? Traore's resistance to the petrodollar system and challenge to French financial dominance mirrors Gaddafi's fatal vision. Will Africa's last hope succeed where Gaddafi was silenced?

Understand the hidden financial war determining Africa's future that mainstream media won't cover. The continent with the world's richest resources remains its poorest due to currency manipulation - but change is coming.

📚 SOURCES: Diplomatic cables, declassified documents, economic analyses, and historical records reveal the untold story of Africa's fight for monetary sovereignty.
