Twenty years since 9/11: What has changed for Muslim Americans?

Our panel will mark the 20th anniversary of 9/11, and discuss how perceptions of Muslims have shifted since, in this livestreamed event. When four coordinated terrorist attacks killed 2,977 people on 11 September 2001, the world’s view of Islam changed forever. In the two decades since, many Muslims have shared stories of being treated like terrorists, subjected to horrific hate crimes, discriminated against for their appearance and experienced FBI raids on their homes. 20 years on, our panel of speakers will be exploring what it means to be Muslim American today. How have Muslims responded to that discrimination and how have their perspectives of Islam evolved? What has it meant for Muslims to endure surveillance, racism and intolerance, not just in America, but around the world? Join Guardian US senior reporter Johana Bhuiyan; Moustafa Bayoumi professor and award-winning author of How Does It Feel to be a Problem? and staff attorney, CUNY School of Law, Naz Ahmad. Further speakers to be announced.
