The Black Lives Matter movement taught Muslim Americans the language of racial justice

Evidence

In addition to mobilizing action and solidarity, the BLM movement was fiercely educational. It inculcated Muslim Americans with the language of racial justice, and words that were once confined to sociology, anthropology, or law school classes, like “intersectional feminism,” “structural racism,” and “white privilege,” became routine terms for non-black Muslim American teens, college students, and organizers, who began to speak in terms of collective liberation instead of discrete community interest. — Khaled A.
