During the month of April, the Arab America Foundation formally recognizes the achievements of Arab Americans through the celebration of National Arab American Heritage Month (NAAHM). Across the country, cultural institutions, school districts, municipalities, state legislatures, public servants, and non-profit organizations issue proclamations and engage in special events that celebrate our community’s rich heritage and numerous contributions to society.

Plan your events, build your displays, and celebrate poets and poetry!  We've compiled some resources below -- and would love to have more. If you have a list or idea to share, send it to us, and we'll include it here.
