“The primary objective of the ADC-RI Media Research Project is to research, track, and document anti-Arab and Islamophobic bias in the media, public discourse, and from public officials. This tracking project will serve as a resource tool which will highlight the prevalence of bias and bigotry. The project will expose xenophobia and hatred that target minorities in the U.S., particularly Arab and Muslim Americans.
The project will also celebrate achievements of Arabs and Muslims from around the world.”
Raghad Al-Jabri was seven years old when she first learned to walk.
She was born with legs that could not support her. An amputation surgery and finding the right prosthetics to hold her upright could help her walk. But those facilities were rare, if not non-existent in Gaza’s embattled Khan Younis refugee camp.
In 2018, help came from across the seas. A group of volunteers, doctors and close-knit Muslim families in South Carolina’s Upstate banded together. Raghad’s dream became their own.
