African Muslims enSlaved in the Americas
There are three stages of Muslims immigrating to America. The first is the slaves from Africa, and there are many documented evidences that show Muslims slaves from Africa that came to Islam. Unfortunately they weren't able to preserve islam and pass it down to their children.
The second one was a minor one when some arabs in the 20th century came to North America around the time of WWI. They premierly settled in Detroit and other cities. But they were a small number and didn't establish a national presence.
The 3rd wave was in the 1960's and was the largest immigration of Muslims, when the laws were changed. It reached its peak in the 80's, but gradually came down to our time.
