International Museum of Muslim Cultures

In celebration of IMMC’s 15th anniversary, former Jackson Mayor Tony Yarber issued a proclamation designating April as Islamic Heritage Month (IHM) under the auspices of the International Museum of Muslim Cultures. He urged the community “to celebrate and commemorate the historical contributions of Muslims, who ignited the Renaissance of Europe—into America, ushering in the age of science and technology, a culture of tolerance and peace [that values] education“. Each year during the month of April, IMMC hosts numerous fun activities and educational events such as mini exhibits, gallery talks, film screenings, arts performances and workshops, cultural programs, and interfaith gatherings. IHM concludes with a community festival of cultural presentations, art demonstrations and exhibits, food tastings, fashion shows, musical performances, and more. ==References==
