Arab Americans Celebrate Community in Montgomery County by Alix Farr

For my project, I would like to do an audio slideshow centered on the Arab American Heritage Festival in Gaithersburg that is to take place on April 11. I have done reporting recently on the Census and how the Middle Eastern community is hoping to use Census data to better define and understand its own population in Montgomery County. I would like to combine this idea with the festival and what it means for the community as a whole. I hope to do interviews with leaders in the Arab community, as well as participants in the festival. Pictures will be of the festival activities, which will include dance, music, arts and crafts. I expect runtime to be 3-4 minutes.
