I don't think so. Thomas Sowell has for the longest time pushed a narrative that Harlem and other impoverished black communities were not crime ridden until US welfare expansion of the mid 20th century. This is contrary to what James Baldwin has written about of his youth coming up in Harlem. WEB Dubois addressed black violence in "Philadelphia Negro." So I don't know where Sowell is coming from.

Off the top of my head, I can say:

1. He was Arab,
2. Lived in the ~7th century
3. Uttered the Quran
4. Migrated from his birth city (mecca?) to another (medina)
5. Fought many battles/wars

Is there anything more we know about him with certainty?

Have been struggling to find sources for an investigation I'm attempting to write about the unification of Japan in the Sengoku period and wondered if anyone had some useful tips or advice on how to find good sources. Guess the rules here are pretty tight and sorry if this breaks one of them but I thought it was a relevant question.

Whenever I watch a show or a movie set in the 1920s-1940s it seems like swing music and dancing were generally common in the United States. In American culture today there isn't a genre that everyone can dance to (except the ones that have instructions in the lyrics). So what happened?

Hi guys, I'm currently an undergraduate majoring in history. One of my subjects I'm taking now is on Modern East Asia, and at the end of the term we have to write an academic term paper on a topic of our choosing. I chose post war japan, and I was wondering if anyone knew some books on the topic. I'm mainly interested in the 1950's-60's, but I won't mind if gets a little farther than that.

If so, was the ruse effective? Did the Axis powers have any similar myths about their technologies?

Although it was along the trading routes that spread Islam eastward, it remains majority Buddhist.

and if you can find the crown too, that would be amazing
