Dr. Muhammad directs the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a Harlem-based branch of the New York Public Library system and one of the world’s leading research facilities dedicated to the history of the African diaspora. He is also the author of The Condemnation of Blackness, which explores how ideas about Black criminality shaped urban America.
