Celebrating Diversity

http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2005/745/fr1.htm
"Egypt's Other Pasts: A Pilgrimage through the Splendors of Coptic, Greco-Roman and Islamic Legacies" opens next week in Washington DC. As its organisers Brigitte Boulad-Kiesler and Sherine Mishriki explained to Al-Ahram Weekly the event aims at introducing the many sides of Egypt's legacy and identity to the American public. Understanding the coexistence of these multiple sides of Egypt is a prerequisite, they believe, to better dialogue. Running from 9 to 13 June, the programme will occupy several venues in the city". See the article for more details.
