Arab American History Month

By: Rommy Muhsen

In the midst of the current climate of anti-Arab bias, Arab Americans are celebrating their heritage in hopes that all Americans will appreciate their contributions to the United States of America. During the month of April, Arab America (www.arabamerica.com), the leading provider of digital media about Arab Americans, will celebrate Arab American Heritage Month via its website, television, radio and social media platforms. Arab America celebrates the history, culture, and people that have been enriching and shaping American society for generations. The month of April is a special opportunity to enhance understanding of the diverse aspects of Arab American heritage. Arab America will debut a new feature each day in April highlighting the culture and influences of Arab Americans in order to solve any inaccurate or stereotypical images of Arab Americans.
