Chicagoland celebrates Arab American Heritage Month

More than 250 government leaders, elected officials and candidates for office attended a celebration of Arab American Heritage Month in Hickory Hills in suburban Chicago hosted by the American Arab Chamber of Commerce. The dinner was donated by three Chamber members and was free to the public featuring a catered Middle Eastern dinner, entertainment and speakers on March 30, 2022

By Ray Hanania

More than 250 leaders in the Arab American community joined with a slew of government officials and candidates for political office to celebrate the launch of Arab American Heritage Month at a dinner hosted by the American Arab Chamber of Commerce Wednesday March 30, 2022.

April is Arab American Heritage Month, set by a law adopted by the Illinois Legislature in January 2019. The month celebrates the contributions of Arab Americans and is celebrated nationally in at least 36 American states.

This year’s celebration was the largest in the city’s history and brought together many community groups and leaders at a Hickory Hills banquet hall that featured displays of Arab music, clothing and dress, and history.

Chicago Alderman Roderick Sawyer of the 6th Ward, one of more than 40 elected officials and candidates who attended the event, read a Proclamation honoring Chicago’s Arab American community. Commissioner Mariyana Spyropoulos of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District also provided a congratulatory letter. Both were read to the community.

“I am very honored to be here to present this resolution which has been introduced to the Chicago City Council and for which I believe it will be approved,” Alderman Sawyer said in remarks at the dinner, which was free to the community and featured an Arab dinner.

“Arab Americans are an important constituency in the city, county, state and the country. They have contributed as much as everyone to make this country great and I and other members of the Chicago City Council want them to know that we see you as equals and appreciate your contributions to our society. Thank you and happy Arab American Heritage Month.”

 

.

Dr. Willie Wilson, who recently donated more than $1 million in gasoline to families facing the stress of rising gasoline prices and costs spinning out of the two-year long COVID-19 pandemic, said Arab Americans “are a great people from a great culture.”

“I am proud to be here tonight to join my friends in the Arab American community to celebrate a month where we recognize their contributions to this nation,” said Wilson, who recently announced his intentions to run for Mayor of Chicago in 2023.

“Arab Americans are engineers, doctors, police officers, firefighters, military veterans, small and large business owners, and have contributed so much. I am proud to be able to salute them and join you in celebrating this important month honoring Arab American Heritage.”

There are more than 450,000 Arab Americans in the Chicagoland region, although their rights are basically ignored by the U.S. Census. They are often are excluded from receiving government benefits such as cultural grants and business support.

Oftentimes, they are the victims of racism and discrimination from some government leaders like Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who sent a Task Force of Police and Business Inspectors to shut down more than 150 Arab owned stores in Chicago in June 2021.

American Arab Chamber of Commerce President Hassan Nijem said that the impact of Mayor Lightfoot’s unjustified, wrong and discriminatory order to close the businesses had devastating affects on the 150 businesses, the more than 1,200 employees who were out of work for three months, and on  city and county tax revenues and communities that could not be collected during the closures.

“Last summer, Mayor Lightfoot and her inspectors and her task force shut down 150 Arab owned businesses in Chicago. They were shut down for nearly three months and nothing was done,” Nijem said.

“When we at the Chamber learned about it, we brought people together and told the store owners we will fight for their rights. We will fight to reopen them. We will protest and do whatever we can to force the mayor to reverse this discriminatory policy. And we did. We put a light on this by bringing in the Chicago news media and we had every TV station, every newspaper and every radio station reporting on this terrible situation. The pressure and embarrassment of what she did was so great, Mayor Lightfoot ordered all of the stores re-opened the very next day. The inspectors were told to be respectful and helpful to the store owners. That’s the power of having a Chamber of Commerce.”

Ald. Gilbert Villegas of Chicago’s 36th Ward announced at the dinner he introduced a resolution calling for an investigation into the store closings, but the resolution has been stymied by the mayors allies.

Villegas announced he would host a public community forum to allow store owners to share their experiences of how their stores were shutdown, and how the inspectors treated them demanding accountability from Lightfoot and her administration.

Villegas is running for Congress in the newly created 3rd Congressional District in the Democratic Primary on June 28.

Nijem told the gathering that Arab American Heritage Month is important because it reminds every public official, every government, every agency and every organization of the importance of  Arab Americans and that they must be respected.

“The chamber is humbled that all of you are here tonight. Tonight is not about me or the Chamber. It is really about you, the community,” Nijem said.

“We wanted to thank the community for all of their hard work every day being good citizens, great business people, doctors, lawyers, journalists, great families and law-abiding taxpayers. That’s why we organized this dinner as a free celebration for the community and for our government friends who are here tonight. This night is to honor all of you and to thank you all.”

Many officials addressed the gathering.

“The Arab community is very important and a cornerstone of our nation’s diversity and an important part of our county and I am so proud to be able to be here to celebrate this important Arab American Heritage month,” said Cook County Commissioner Frank Aguilar of the 16th District.

Former Cook County Commissioner Liz Gorman, who is a candidate in the June 28, 2022 Republican Primary election and running to return to her seat representing the 17th District, offered words of support to the gathering telling members: “Arab Americans are an important community that contribute to our society and our country. I am proud to be here to honor them for all that they have done to make this country and this county strong. They will always have a voice with me. Arab American Heritage month is an important event.”

Gorman was applauded for her work as a champion fighting for the rights of taxpayers on the Cook County board.
