Guest Speaker: Helen Samhan

I really enjoyed having Helen come in and speak to us about Arabs in America. I liked how she started of by giving the history of Arab immigrants coming to U.S. The video she showed us was beneficial because we were able to her a live commentary on Arab women and how they felt after 9-11. At the end I think we had a great discussion and she answered all of our questions well. I was able to relate to what she was saying because I have been to that part of the world and know how women are there. I know that just as we think of women's status back in their home countries those women also have a curiousity about American women and their lifestyles. I thought she was informative and noticed her confidence and willingness to answer the questions we had.
