The 1st African person to explore Texas was an AMAZING figure called Estevanico ("Little Stephen"), likely a Christianized version of his Moorish name, Mustafa Azemmouri.

I'm good with religious texts being part of our classrooms, *as texts* that we analyze just as fully (& for which we consider authorship, historical & cultural contexts, audience, etc.) as we do every other text--& as long as that includes the Quran as well.
