"Dearborn is home to the country's first Arab-American museum"
The Detroit Free Press is reporting on the upcoming opening of the first Arab-American museum in the nation, which contains " interactive displays, 600 artifacts, video displays and more." The lengthy article also notes that the museum has a room dedicated to explaining the effects of September, 11, 2001 on the Arab-American community: "On one wall is an enlarged copy of a letter that the U.S. government mailed to hundreds of Arab men in the fall of 2001 asking them to be interviewed as part of terrorism investigations."
