Idris Assad is a property developer born and based in Atlanta, USA. In this episode he shares his knowledge on the history of African Americans to show not only the break in history for many black Americans today, but also that after emancipation there were thriving communities and economic hubs of African Americans such as Greenwood, Oklahoma dubbed as 'Black Wall Street.' 

Drawing on this past, Idris unpacks his current endeavour to revive the essence of Black Wall Street and take it further by incorporating into it the model of Original Islam (see Ep. 10) and Muamalat (see Ep. 13) to bring a future of hope and real freedom.
