saraka

From an unknown West African language, from Arabic صَدَقَة (ṣadaqa). Although owners of enslaved African Americans suppressed Islam, a small number of cultural practices originating from Islam persisted in the US. The West African tradition of giving rice cakes as charity (related to their practice of Islam) survived among various African Americans.
