Tulsa Peace Fellowship

There never was a good war or a bad peace. ~Ben Franklin

Born Kemal Amen Kasem, in Detroit, Michigan, his parents were Lebanese Druze immigrants. Through his long career, Kasem was an ardent and activist oriented supporter of Arab American rights. In 1996, Kasem was named "Man of the Year" by the American Druze Society.

He fought hard against the anti-Arab racist stereotypes which are depicted endlessly in Hollywood films. He challenged his colleagues in the Hollywood entertainment industry to stand up against anti-Arab racism.
