Arab Americans often have to navigate bias and hate directed toward them. Although our government\u2019s census and many official documents <a href=\"https:\/\/rethinkingschools.org\/2022\/04\/25\/celebrating-arab-american-heritage-month\/\">determine that Arab Americans are white racially<\/a>, many people move through the world experiencing racism. Arab Americans deserve to celebrate their culture. Those of us who are not Arab American can dedicate some time to examine any biases we might have and work toward a more inclusive present and future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arabamerica.com\/oregon-governor-signs-bill-declaring-april-as-arab-american-heritage-month\/\">Oregon has made permanent legislation<\/a> proclaiming that April is National Arab American Heritage Month (NAAHM). Important note that many are encouraging the title of this month to be changed to Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) Month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s learn more about Arab Americans, especially during NAAHM!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Educate Ourselves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Arab countries and Americans are diverse people and cultures. North Africa and Southwest Asia (often called The Middle East) are home to the 22 Arab countries. Most Arabs are Christian, many are Jewish or Muslim, but many others practice other religions or none at all. We can build empathy and knowledge by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL0FB86410E9089B12\">watching stories<\/a>, listening to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/1786960\">podcasts<\/a>, and enjoying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apartmenttherapy.com\/arab-american-films-tv-37054505\">TV &amp; movies<\/a> about Arab Americans, such as <em>The Other Son<\/em> (PG-13). We can virtually attend the <a href=\"https:\/\/arabamericanmuseum.org\/event\/aanms-arab-film-festival\/?event_date=2024-05-15\">Arab American Museum\u2019s film festival in May<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your family can cook Middle Eastern or North African foods to celebrate the month and learn about new-to-you favorites. A popular Lebanese skillet potato dish, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themediterraneandish.com\/middle-eastern-spicy-potato-salad-recipe-batata-harra\/\">batata harra<\/a>, might be a delicious addition to your weekly menus. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/chef-reem-assils-arab-bread-23313024\">Chef Reem Assil\u2019s Arab bread<\/a> would be a delightful experiment, along with many other recipes she shares in her<a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/p\/books\/arabiyya-recipes-from-the-life-of-an-arab-in-diaspora-a-cookbook-reem-assil\/17210806?ean=9781984859075\"> cookbook<\/a>. Of course, you will need some <a href=\"https:\/\/zaatarandzaytoun.com\/best-hummus-recipe\/\">hummus<\/a> for your bread.
