The lecture elaborated on Muslims\u2019 sense of belonging, and their religious, social, and civic engagement in Milwaukee. It examined how Muslims address poverty, homelessness, lack of access to education and health care and social inequality among Muslims and non-Muslims in the city through various religious and non-religious organizations and collaborations.
