This past week we witnessed the capitol building being overrun by white supremacists and many of us can’t help but think what would have happened had the perpetrators been black or non-white, further reinforcing what we already know to be true, that there are two Americas. Arqum Rashid discusses with me what we witnessed.

Arqum Rashid is the Resident Scholar and Imam at the Islamic Society of Central Delaware in Dover, Delaware and the Director of Riwaq Institute. He is a graduate of Al-Azhar University with a degree in Sharia (Islamic Law) and a graduate of Delaware Law School with a J.D. (Juris Doctor). Arqum is a licensed Attorney and currently pursuing a Master's in inter-religious studies at Hartford Seminary.

The past often informs our present. Listen in to a history lesson on the Confederacy and how America decides to deal with its black citizens
