Black American Muslims on pilgrimage to Mecca

On NPR's the World, they reported on a story about Black American Muslims going on their Hajj. There are seminars that prepare American Muslims for the Hajj. They are very informative and tell American Muslims what the Hajj involves and how to try and protect yourself in case of pushing or stampeding crowds. The teacher told the group that if they became separated from each other they should all meet up at the Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise, located at the entrance to the holy site.
