Arab American pushes for change after 9/11 discrimination


Linda Sarsour is the director of the Arab American Association of New York, which is now celebrating its 10th anniversary. The organization was founded in the aftermath of 9/11, when the community found itself facing discrimination and hate crimes. She now fights to protect and advocate for Arab Americans. "We just want to live," says Sarsour. "We are Americans. I shouldn't have to tell anyone that."
