Arab America, UDC Commemorate The Struggle for Justice

posted on: Mar 11, 2015

A very enthusiastic audience filled the University of the District of Columbia’s Theatre of the Arts on Feb. 26 for a lively event co-hosted with Arab America, “From Ferguson to Chapel Hill: Together We Stand for Justice.”

Arab America president Warren David said his organization wanted to celebrate Black History Month because many Arab countries are in Africa and many Arab Americans and African Americans share the Muslim faith. Sadly, both communities are “denigrated for their ethnicity,” David said. “Last week’s horrific shooting of three Arab Americans was racially motivated because of religion and ethnicity,” he stated, and called for both groups to work for “justice and equality for all.”
