A Series of Conversations on Race and Community Building June 30 – September 1 | 7:30 – 9pm EST Free | On Zoom | Pre-Registration Required In light of recent protests and actions across America in support of the Black Lives Matter Movement, there is a need among Arab American communities to have intentional conversations around issues of race, racism, and social justice. Through a cultural lens, the Arab American National Museum, Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture, and Network of Arab American Communities are organizing a series of virtual presentations during the summer that bring together Arab American artists in conversation with Arab and African American educators, community leaders, journalists, and scholars. We hope these conversations will provide space for increased understanding and community building towards a more just and equitable America that addresses the structures of systemic racism and inspires our individual and collective efforts for change. July 14: The Power of Words July 29: Faith & Race in Urban America August 11: Documenting Race & Ethnicity August 26: Cultural & Racial Identities September 2: Palestinian-Black Solidarity
