They held the first convention in May during the Memorial Day Weekend of 2003 in Washington D.C. Muslims from around the country gathered and listened to lectures by renowned Muslim scholars from across the U.S. This year, the third annual Convention was held during Memorial Day Weekend in Washington D.C.
