Farhana Khera of Muslim Advocates Talks About The Fight Against Discrimination After 9/11
In this PhilTalk at Philanthropy New York's 35th annual meeting, Farhana Khera, president & executive director of Muslim Advocates, explains her trajectory as a little girl growing up in a small town in Upstate New York, freely practicing her religion and sharing her culture, to an adult in a post-9/11 era of discrimination and hate.
"Hate rallies, political witch hunts, discriminatory policing - together, these activities send a message that Muslims should be feared."
