dialogues across the divides series

For our ‘Dialogues Across the Divides’ series, we will focus on topics such as national security, U.S. foreign policy, civil rights and liberties, as well as social issues that affect inter-communal relations between American-Muslims and the larger community. Our series is made possible through the generous support of the Community Foundation of Western MA.
