Russell Simmons shares his story for My Fellow American.

Stay tuned for new videos here.  I’m really proud of this project—special thanks to friend and LA family, Jason Wawro (for shooting this amazing piece.)

Rabbi Schneier contributed a piece for the MyFellowAmerican project—the Rabbi works with Russell Simmons at an amazing organization called the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding in New York.

Quest for a More Perfect Union

“Muslim Americans and the Quest for a More Perfect Union” tells that story. The video captures the history and diversity of Muslim-American communities, highlights their participation in civic life, and looks toward a future where celebrating the worth and religious liberty of every American is made real in everyday life.

The video is part of the Young Muslim American Voices project of the Faith and Progressive Policy Initiative at the Center for American Progress. It was produced by Jamiah Adams.
