"Muslims and the Making of America" at Philbrook

Public Radio Tulsa | By Rich Fisher
Published September 19, 2019 at 4:54 PM CDT
Aired on Thursday, September 19th.

Our guest is Dr. Amir Hussain of Loyola Marymount University. He'll be speaking tomorrow night (Friday the 20th) at Philbrook Museum of Art here in Tulsa in connection with that museum's soon-to-close exhibit, "Wondrous Worlds: Art & Islam Through Time & Place." Dr. Hussain's remarks will be derived from his book, "Muslims and the Making of America," which explores everything from Muslims who fought in the Civil War to the cultural icon (and sports legend) Muhammad Ali. More about this upcoming event is posted here.
