On May 2nd at 12:30 pm ET, join the Museum of the Palestinian People for a seminar with researchers at Jerusalem Story, who are working to educate people about Jerusalem and its importance in Palestinian history.

Jerusalem Story tells the story of a unique city through a new lens—that of the city’s large and diverse indigenous Palestinian community.

This community has deep historic roots in Jerusalem and holds the strongest attachment to and love for their city. Yet, they have been subjected to unrelenting efforts to erase their presence in, and potential claim to, the city—past, present, and future—in the service of cementing Israel’s imperative of claiming sole sovereignty in perpetuity over a “united Jewish Jerusalem.” Against this ongoing effort to erase the Palestinian cultural and community history as well as severing connection to place, Jerusalem Story is reasserting the Palestinian presence.
