It's the Brian Laird show on WNYc, good morning again everyone.

It's the Brian Laird Show on WNYC.

Good morning again everyone.

And now we will do our latest April segments

for this National Poetry Month

and Arab American Heritage Month.

Poetry coming up in a bit and listeners heads up.

It will be Poetry Month open mic.

We're inviting you to call in and recite a few lines,

let's say about 30 seconds of any poem that's meaningful

to you.

So get your short poetry readings ready.

We'll do that later this hour, but it's Arab American Heritage Month part three on this

show up first last week as some of you heard we invited listeners of Arab descent to

call in and share your immigration stories.

Here in year four after President Biden declared April Arab American Heritage Month

in the United States in 2021. and we had so many great stories

we didn't have time to hear so we're coming back to it again today for a part two.

So listeners call in with your Arab American family's immigration story to America.

212, 433 WNYC.

And of course this could be yourself, but it could be your parent story, it could be your

grandparents story, or earlier ancestors from anywhere in the Arab world.
