Throughout the day, at least 3,500 people from several states including Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin and New York, attended an outdoor Nakba commemoration event and Palestinian heritage celebration, hosted by the Chicago chapter of the American Muslims for Palestine on May 20 in Bridgeview, IL.From the lively Palestine Parade, replete with horses, floats, Nasheed, and an overwhelming presence of Palestinian flags billowing in the wind, to dabka performances, freshly baked bread from replica ‘taboons’ (clay ovens), and educational tents highlighting the villages of Deir Yasin, Asqalan and Jaffa, the sixth annual Nakba event honored the victims who were killed or expelled from their homes in 1948. It also focused on passing along Palestine’s rich cultural and historical heritage to succeeding generations of Palestinian Americans. |
