The Muslim American Society (MAS) Milwaukee held its 12th Annual Conference on March 30 and 31 at the Crowne Plaza Milwaukee Airport. The Wisconsin Muslim Journal attended the two-day program, recording keynote speakers and photo documenting the event which also served as a community platform. This feature is part of an editorial series put together to highlight the many important topics that were discussed by national leaders over the weekend.

Noman Hussain is the Imam for ISM Brookfield and noted speaker on a range of subjects connecting faith, education, and community. For the conference he gave a powerful speech about the need and responsibility to teach Muslim American children to be advocates for all sorts of social justice causes beyond typical ethnic persecution.
