Event Description

Join with fellow community members on the tenth anniversary of September 11th to remember this tragic event and to reflect on its impact on religious and ethnic relations in our community and country.  Esteemed civil rights attorney and writer Sahar Aziz will share her insights on the delicate balance between national security and civil liberties in our post-9/11 America and will offer thoughts on what the next ten years may hold.


Sahar Aziz is an associate professor of law at Texas Wesleyan School of Law and frequently writes about national security and civil rights issues for a variety of media sites including CNN.com, Huffington Post, altmuslim, and the Houston Chronicle. She has served as a senior policy advisor at the U.S Department of Homeland Security.

This program is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is strongly encouraged.  Pre- register here or in person at Countryside Community Church (8787 Pacific Street).
