FROM THE AANM DIRECTOR

Dear Friends and Supporters, It’s hard to believe a decade has passed since the opening of the Arab American National Museum in 2005. In a relatively short amount of time, we have managed to accomplish so much together. Your AANM has become southeast Michigan’s only Affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution. The Museum joined the ranks of just 7% of museums nationwide in achieving accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums. Our staff has designed nationally recognized, award-winning programs and exhibitions. What’s more, our Museum has truly become a national institution, with exhibitions and programs presented from coast to coast. I feel confident that our work has dispelled stereotypes, illuminated minds and let Arab Americans tell their own story. Over the past year, we have commemorated the Museum’s 10th anniversary milestone with a series of exciting exhibitions and programs in Dearborn and across the country. Additionally, we have set our eyes to the future. During the past 12 months, we have created a new three-year strategic plan aimed at propelling our Museum forward. We have inaugurated a new addition to the Museum, The Annex @ AANM, and have launched new programs in this flexible community space. And we have forged new partnership with institutions locally and nationally, aimed at elevating the Arab American story and placing it in context with the larger American narrative. Through this work, the Museum has served as a trusted source for accurate information on Arab Americans. Further, we have endeavored to build a more cohesive Arab American community through our collective work. We hope this report sheds light on the amazing work of our board, staff and volunteers in helping to advance this singular institution. We thank you for your support as we continue to enrich our nation by building community through the arts! Sincerely,

Devon M. Akmon FROM THE NATIONAL ADVISORY BOARD CHAIR

Dear Friends, Congratulations to all on the Arab American National Museum’s 10th Anniversary Year! It has indeed been a decade of many successful milestones locally and nationally. My respect and gratitude for the efforts of my colleagues on the National Advisory Board, the Friends of the Museum Committees, the director and staff of the Museum, and You, our enthusiastic supporters, are heartfelt and deep. I hope you are as thrilled as I am by our success and find yourself freshly motivated to press into our future. Let us be reminded of Victor Hugo’s words: “If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.” Today, more than ever, as power narrows the areas of man’s concern, we need our Museum to shine the light and eradicate the darkness; always reminding us of the richness and diversity of our history and our existence. A world turned into a stereotype, a society converted into a regiment, a life translated into a routine, make it difficult for either history or art to survive. Crush individuality in society and you crush art as well. Nourish the conditions of a free life and you nourish arts, too. The AANM encourages the creation and enjoyment of beautiful things, furthering democracy itself. That is why this Museum is a citadel of civilization. The opportunity before the Arab American National Museum is as broad as our landscapes. I trust that the fine example we have set – a decade of memorializing the Arab American legacy and embedding it into the greater American narrative – will inspire emulation. I trust that this good work will continue until the influence of the best and most noble permeates every community in our land. Sincerely,

Manal Saab A DECADE Since opening its doors on May 5, 2005, the Arab American National Museum has seen scores of memorable moments and enough achievements to fill a few volumes!
