Experience
Co-founder
Jan 2001 — Present · Jackson, MS, US
As a Co-Founder, and Chairman Ameritas of the Board of the International Museum of Muslim Cultures (IMMC), I assist in strategic planning, policies and procedures along with the board, and leading the Museum\'s fund raising efforts.IMMC is America\'s first museum dedicated to educating the American public about Islamic history and culture, and the contributions of diverse Muslim communities to the world. IMMC\'s aim is to be a venue for presenting diverse Islamic cultural histories and contributions and serve as an educational resource for teaching global consciousness, historical literacy, and multicultural appreciation. The Museum facilitates multi-cultural and interfaith dialogue to promote understanding; and reduce religious, cultural, and racial bigotry. It strives to advance religious and civic discussions in hope of providing a better atmosphere for working together for the common good. IMMC objectives are to: Research, collect, preserve, exhibit, and interpret objects, stories, and history that promote the Museum\'s mission. Educate the American public about Islamic history and its diversity: past, present and future, and the significant influence of Islamic civilization on the world. Develop cultural and inter-faith dialogue that promotes tolerance, understanding and peaceful coexistence between the USA and the Islamic world. Serve as a research and educational center, and repository for Islamic objects having cultural, artistic, aesthetic, and historical significance. Collaborate with Islamic history museums in the Muslim world for exhibits, research and educational exchange program between the US and the Muslim World. Promote, develop, and expand IMMC as the first and only Islamic history museum in the USA with national impact. Nurture and grow relations with non-Muslim organizations including religious groups; businesses; local, state, and federal government; and non-profit organizations.
