Deeply moved by Tarek Albaba’s film on the #hatecrime killing of 3 Muslim students in #ChapelHill. Watching it in #Dearborn (home to the largest Arab American community) on the Int’l Day to Combat #Islamophobia (6 years after #Christchurch) is a powerful reminder: We must stand together against hate
