Celebrating Arab Americans

This LibGuide was inspired by the Arab American Heritage month of April to celebrate Arab Americans, their culture, ancestry and contributions made in the US. House Resolution 335, introduced by Rep. Donna Shalala, recognizes that approximately 3,700,000 Arab Americans reside in the U.S. and that Arabic is among the fastest growing languages in the country.

This guide was created by Aicha Azzaoui due to the inspiration of Sara Ibrahim.
