Amir Muhammad, founder of America’s Islamic Heritage Museum in Ward 8, was unable to join us for technical reasons. See below for important upcoming events. Note, especially, that the museum ordinarily relies on an annual Iftar [Ramadan fast-breaking meal] fund-raising and needs extra support this year to continue its educational and community programming.

The museum itself is closed due to Covid-19 and had to cancel its annual Ramadan fund-raiser, so they are in need of support to keep their educational and community programs running. Look for America’s Islamic Heritage Museum on Facebook and the web.
