"On a Wing and a Prayer: An American Muslim Learns to Fly," a Public Television Service documentary that looks at American muslims and cultural differences in a bi-racial marriage is being screened Wednesday at the Laboratory.
The screening is designed to raise cultural awareness and acceptance, said Danny Valdez of the Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity (HR-OEOD). Sponsored by HR-OEOD and the Diversity Affirmative Action Board, the screening begins at noon in the Physics Building Auditorium and is open to the Laboratory workforce. It will be followed by a panel discussion led by Al Eddebbarh of Earth and Environmental Services (EES) Division.
The documentary looks at the life of Monem Salam, an American of Pakistani descent, and his wife, Iman, an American of Palestinian descent.
Middle eastern hors d'oeuvres will be served and HR-OEOD also will provide soft drinks.
