The Institute for Social Policy and Understanding culminates our series of policy briefs and events around the country exploring topics related to the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 with our Annual Banquet in Michigan. We will examine the role that ISPU has played in shaping the policy debate on key issues over the last year, as well as how trailblazers like our keynote speaker, Kamran Pasha, have broken down barriers and helped to change the way the American public views Muslims in popular media.
