More UpdatesCommemorating Dr. Martin Luther King Day
(1/16/06) Today commemorates the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday. We often overlook the importance of this commemoration, or don’t feel connected to it, yet Muslim Americans today reap the benefits of the struggle that he and others in the civil rights movement strived and sacrificed for. All people of color – and all Americans owe these pioneers a debt of gratitude for reasserting the values that this nation was founded on, values such as “liberty, freedom and justice for all” that have not always been applied to all people.

The entire experience of planning a series of seminars with ING was inspirational. They did an amazing job. The ING team welcomed input along the way which allowed each session to be even better than the one before it. We will continue to work with ING as I am confident that they will continue to provide value in our work.

I thought the ING seminar, “Preventing and Responding to Anti-Muslim Bigotry,” was an extremely valuable training for law enforcement, especially in today’s day and age with all the misunderstandings and misperceptions of the Muslim community…I feel this training will help my staff and I in developing better relationships and in responding to the needs of our community. I highly recommend this training to others.
