As 2019 draws to a close, MALA is finishing up a year of tremendous growth and expansion. At the forefront of this growth is the Muslim American Journeys project, which has increased by nearly 20 percent this year, to include even more stories of Muslim American triumphs, struggles, and journeys across the United States.
The reach of the Journeys project is growing at a national level: in October, MALA leadership was invited to present on MALA's oral history project at the Annual meeting of the Oral History Association for the second consecutive year, alongside representatives from the National Library of Congress, the Veterans History Project, and others.
This month, MALA also opened applications for our annual scholarship program. This program is open to all American residents over the age of 18 who are pursuing a higher education and who have a story to tell. We are honored to assist aspiring young leaders access higher education, and are excited to read and share the incredible stories they submit.
As Giving Tuesday approaches, we hope you will consider supporting the Muslim American Journeys project, to help MALA find, record, produce, and share more incredible stories of Muslims in the United States.
