The history of the Sister Clara Muhammad schools in America is one of development and transition. Evolving from the model of the University of Islam which was established in Detroit in the early 1930s, these schools in their earliest forms were the ideological predecessors of both the Black Nationalist independent education movement of the 1960s and the current Afrocentric education movement. In the midto late 1970s, however, the Sister Clara Muhammad School system underwent a profound transition from Black Nationalism to Al-Islam as its primary ideological focus. This article traces the history of the Sister Clara Muhammad schools from their early beginnings through their transition into an orthodox Islamic educational system. It also discusses the recent role of the Sister Clara Muhammad schools in the Council of Islamic Schools of North America (CISNA)
