Imam Mutawaf A. Shaheed and the Islamic Revivalist Movement (IRM, Inc.) came to the organization in 1969. In the early 1970s, Masjid al-Mumin/IRM Inc. began a longstanding relationship with the Ohio correctional system. It also joined Dar ul-Islam, a network of black Sunni mosques who advocated deliverance from an unjust, immoral American culture through Islam. Masjid al-Mumin was the first mosque outside of New York to participate in Dar-ul Islam. Today the mosque is located at 2690 Martin Luther King Junior Drive in Cleveland. The collection consists of approximately 500 photographs and digital images, 9 audio interviews and 23 video interviews. Digital images, audio files, and video files are stored on a flash drive and three CD-Rs. | | | | Call #: | PG 607 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Prisons -- United States -- Ohio -- History. | Islam -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History -- 20th Century. | Muslims -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History -- 20th Century. | Mosques -- Ohio -- Cleveland
