Mysa Kafil-Hussain investigates the often-overlooked story of the Arabs on the Titanic. How many were there? Where did they come from? And what happened to them? This presentation will uncover these stories and delve deeper into the history of Arab immigration to the United States of America in the early 20th Century.
Note: Mysa is not an expert on this topic but is sharing information in the hopes of spurring interest in the subject.

A community member delivers an in-depth presentation on a ‎topic related to the Arab world’s history and culture during a one-hour online event. The presentation is the ‎culmination of a month-long afikra coaching process to help identify a topic, find research, and develop the ‎presentation. The goal is to showcase the presenter’s curiosity, research, and share some knowledge. Each ‎presentation is followed by a moderated Q&A with questions coming from the live virtual audience on Zoom.  ‎Join the live audience: https://www.afikra.com/rsvp
