About
MoorOfUS.org is an evidence-first Moorish history site. It focuses on Northwest African connections, Maghreb history, al-Andalus, Moorish terminology, Moorish public memory, and modern claims that need careful source review.
The site keeps its scope narrow by design. It does not publish generic religion, general Black history, generic African diaspora, or unrelated culture-war topics unless the article is clearly categorized as Modern Claims, Public Memory, or Myth vs Evidence and tied back to the MoorOfUS mission.
Method
MoorOfUS separates what evidence supports from what it does not support. The site avoids invented citations, unsupported identity claims, and private evidence presented as public proof.
What readers can expect
Every public page should help readers understand the claim, the source trail, and the limits of the evidence. A record about a person, place, term, image, building, or modern claim should not ask readers to accept a label without context. It should explain why the subject matters, what kind of source is being used, and where caution is required.
MoorOfUS treats public memory as important, but public memory is not the same as proof. The site can document how a label, image, story, or ritual has mattered to a community while still saying that the historical record does not verify ancestry, nationality, tribe, legal status, descent, DNA conclusions, membership, or private lineage.
Production scope
The production site is WordPress-first. The repository supports content operations, source ledgers, import tooling, editorial checks, and emergency edge repair, but the content posture remains source-aware and publication-focused. Cloud Run and preview renderers are not the production content authority unless an owner-approved cutover is recorded.
Why the site is careful
Moorish history is often discussed through pride, recovery, correction, argument, and spiritual memory. Those are real reader contexts, but they can also pressure a page to say more than the sources say. MoorOfUS answers that pressure with clear categories: history when the source trail supports history, memory when the evidence is memory, and claim review when a modern claim needs limits.
That method lets the site protect meaningful public memory without turning public memory into unsupported proof. It also lets readers value Northwest African and al-Andalus history without flattening the many peoples, languages, religions, political settings, and later labels connected to the word Moor.
