The Sister Clara Muhammad Memorial Education Foundation Needs Your Support
Your support today is more important than ever because of various factors. One such factor is the racial wealth gap. The online Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, on Wednesday, August 17, 2016, reported that the Institute for Policy Studies documented the racial wealth gap over the last thirty years as having increased by eighty-four percent for average European American families, which is three times the increase for African American families. They predict that if this trend continues, it will take two hundred and twenty-eight years for the average African American family’s wealth to equal that of the European American family. Another factor is that society has a need for the sober-minded, moderate, critical-thinking students these schools produce. The graduates, many descendants of ex-slaves, are responsible, accountable, dependable individuals with the disciplined moral fortitude for developing and contributing to a shared freedom space for all humankind that in necessary to build a good family and good community life globally.
Recognizing that “all children have a right to an education in a moral environment,” according to Imam W. D. Mohammed, we encourage you to contribute to the Sister Clara Muhammad Education Foundation , which supports the network of schools, providing an excellent education for our diverse Muslim and non-Muslim student population, many of whom would have little to no other opportunity for a quality education.
We thank you in advance for your financial assistance. Please see the form below and support our cause by pledging your donation today.
Mission Statement
The Sister Clara Muhammad Memorial Education Foundation was founded to generate financial resources and other types of support for the Clara Muhammad Elementary and W.D. Mohammed High Schools. These schools, in operation since 1931 as the University of Islam Schools, were renamed in 1975 by Imam Warith Deen Mohammed [raa] after his mother, the founder, Sister Clara Muhammad [raa]. Following the name change, her daughter-in-law, Sister Shirley Muhammad [raa] founded The Sister Clara Muhammad Memorial Education Foundation to honor the memory, leadership and legacy of the Honorable Sister Clara Muhammad [raa], and to continue her philanthropic work, which the reorganized Foundation is currently undertaking. The Qur’an, the example of Mohammed ibn Abdullah, the Prophet [PHUH], and the explanation of Imam Mohammed are the foundation for the schools’ creation- inspired curricula designed to produce critically thinking, moderate- minded students, who will ultimately contribute to a shared- freedom space that promotes good family life and good community life for all humankind. All children are welcome, for, as Imam Mohammad stated, “all Muslim children have a right to an Islamic education, and all children have a right to an education in a moral environment.”
