Finding Palestine in Michigan
Samia Halaby
When people think of Michigan, among many things that come to mind is the state’s history as a home to Arabs. Dearborn is colloquially referred to as the heart of Arab America, and its cultural institutions, such as the Arab American National Museum, document the overlooked stories of Arab Americans. Yet the stories of the Arab diaspora span the state of Michigan—past and present. It was this line of thinking that prompted my journey to uncover the story of the inimitable Palestinian painter Samia Halaby in Michigan.
