2012-02-24Inspired by the NYPD’s admission to have used the inflammatory film The Third Jihad in training its officers, this panel discussion will give the story behind this discovery and detail the legal work it took to bring the information to public light. Panelists will also critique the film (and other media that capitalize on problematic stereotypes) whilst reflecting on the decay of civil rights in America for Arabs, Muslims, and other groups.

The A is for Arab: Stereotypes in U.S. Popular Culture traveling exhibition (culled from the Jack G. Shaheen Archive) will be on display prior to and following the event.
