- Description:
- As Georgia became more prosperous in the 1970s, an increasing number of Muslim immigrants settled in the state, especially around Atlanta. These immigrants often retained their cultural and organizational distinctiveness by establishing ethnic-oriented masjids (the proper Arabic term for mosques) to worship apart from previously established masjids dominated by African Americans.
The color photograph shows the inside of Al-Farooq Masjid in Atlanta, depicting intricately arched windows, tiling, and a central dome. - External Identifiers:
