Chicago Muslim Project Listening Party

Tuesday, October 23

Join the Muslim American Leadership Alliance (MALA) and the Museum’s Chicago Muslim Project to hear the stories of local American Muslims in this rough-cut listening party! Through its “Muslim American Journeys” partnership with National Public Radio’s StoryCorps and the Library of Congress, MALA has an extensive collection of stories from American Muslims. Over the past two years, the Chicago Muslim Project, through the Museum’s Studs Terkel Center for Oral History, has collected oral history interviews of American Muslims building toward a fall 2019 exhibition. Come hear audio excerpts from both initiatives and participate in discussion and dialogue about Islam and Muslims in Chicago.
