Implementation of lectures, public discussions, a website, and educational materials about the history and culture of Muslims in America.

American Muslim Pathways is a series of lectures by humanities scholars, followed by community discussions held at PBS stations across the country, organized in conjunction with adjacent cultural and university venues. An interactive website, including learning lessons and extensive video content, will serve as an additional didactic tool for the public, helping the general audience as well as high school and college teachers to become more acquainted with the history of the Muslim community in America. Combining lectures, discussions and the online-learning platform, American Muslim Pathways brings the long, often-forgotten history of Muslims in America to light, by focusing on their recorded experiences from the 16th Century to the present day.
