Do
Arab-Americans love their country? Did you have to stop and think about which country I'm talking about? If so, head right over to the
education section of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, where resources abound. Their mission statement is the "objective and fair portrayal of Arab history and culture." Or learn about these
famous Arab-Americans who love the U.S.A. (like pop singer Shakira and movie star Salma Hayek) and, in some cases, have died for their beloved country. Or read about author
Naomi Shihab Nye (author of
Sitti's Secrets), reflect on her
letter to a would-be terrorist, and check out this
high school English lesson based on her poetry.
