Event Description:

Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir broke records and barriers on her way to become
the first Division I athlete to play basketball while wearing hijab.
When a controversial ruling ends her chances at playing
professionally, she re-examines her faith and identity as a Muslim
American. Come enjoy this thought-provoking film, centered around
questions of faith, gender, and justice. Stay as Harvard Muslim
Chaplain, Khalil Abdur-Rashid, leads a discussion with members of the
Harvard Muslim Community and the film's director, Tim O'Donnell.
Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 6 p.m. in the Smith Campus Center, Harvard
Commons. All Harvard Community Members are welcome to attend. This
free event is co-sponsored by Harvard Chaplains, Harvard Graduate
School of Education, Commons Spaces and Harvard Graduate Commons.
Snacks provided.
