Thanks to Arab Detroit for hosting the 8th annual educational workshop!

It’s been quite a banner year for racism directed towards Arabs and Muslims. From a political candidate's racist anti-Arab ad campaign, to former White House bureau chief Helen Thomas' political execution, to the Ground Zero Mosque fight--the image of Arabs and Muslims in the US hit a new low.

This educational workshop will help participants understand Arab Americans, their issues, and their rich heritage and culture. This workshop addresses these issues and provides insights enabling participants to interpret and evaluate the circumstances with a more informed and unbiased outlook.
