To honor Arab American heritage, Alif Institute and the National Network for Arab American Communities (NNAAC) launched a year-long partnership with StoryCorps to provide a platform to share Arab American stories. “Hikayat: Arab American Stories” is an initiative to preserve narratives from our community, allowing us to reflect on our shared humanity, and celebrate our resiliency in the face of adversity.
Why tell your story?
To illustrate the importance of recording our stories, Daniel Horowitz Garcia, Southeast Regional Director of StoryCorps, often asks, “If you could press a button and hear your great grandparents telling their story, would you press the button?”
The answer is always a yes. Everyone has a story to tell…Generations to come will want to hear you talk about your memories, hopes, and dreams. Click on the links above to learn more about this rewarding and fun project and below to get to know our partners!
