April is Arab American Heritage Month

It’s here - our favorite month of the year!

We have come a long way from the first time Arab American heritage was recognized on the national level with a “National Arab-American Day” in 1992. Now, in 2022, President Biden issued a statement in recognition of Arab American Heritage Month, as did countless other government officials and organizational partners. We are so proud of the work our community has done for decades to get us here, particularly on the local level.

Join us as we celebrate our culture, history, cuisine, art, and people for Arab American Heritage Month. We will be highlighting stories weekly about inspiring Arab Americans who have shared their talents, passion, and work with all of us.

Be on the look out for featured posts on Arab American literature, art, poetry, music, and food.

And there is no better way to start the celebration than a statement from President Biden celebrating Arab American Heritage Month with us.

Last year, AAI President James Zogby gave an award-nominated interview on the Arab American experience. Watch the interview below.

Here are some amazing Arab Americans who inspire us with their contributions. Below are their stories!
