Loading ...Pathbreakers of Arab America—Huwaida Arraf
Our forty-fourth pathbreaker, Huwaida Arraf, an activist and attorney who, as a Palestinian American and a Palestinian Arab citizen of Israel, endeavored to moderate her dual loyalties. Contributing writer, John Mason, writes that Huwaida was born in Detroit, that her mother was a West Bank Palestinian, and her father a Palestinian from northern Israel and thus an Israeli citizen. One motive for their move to the U.S. was to remove Arraf from the violence in the West Bank.
