This work examines the extent to which leadership in U.S. Islamic institutions is impacted by anti-Blackness. Findings are based on a study conducted between 2016 and 2018 in one city in the southwestern portion of the U.S. with 15 attendees and leaders of two mosques and a private Islamic school as the participants. Findings indicate that one of the ways in which anti-Blackness manifests is through a lack of access to leadership roles or limitations placed on leadership for Black leaders. Furthermore, “policing” of Black children is common and Black leaders tend to be relegated to the role of disciplinarian. In general, findings indicate that Black Muslims are robbed of the “safe space” that Islamic institutions provide many non-Black attendees as there is no “safety” from anti-Blackness.
