On Tuesday, December 6, 2016, Nashville held a commemorative celebration of the International Human Rights Day. The Human Rights Day has become a day to reflect and look at lessons learned and battles won, while various human rights groups join forces and commit to creating an even better future. This year's, Rising Advocate Awards were given to three individuals who have made great strides for human rights and have shown even greater promise for the future. One of this year’s awardees is one of our own, Mohamed Shukri. Mohamed is a founder of the American Muslim Advisory Council, he also works with the Tennessee Immigrants and Refugee Rights Coalition, the American Center for Outreach and was on the first Mayor’s New Americans Advisory Council. The American Muslim Advisory Council is grateful to have Mohamed work throughout Tennessee promoting civic engagement, community building and media relations in order to protect all Tennesseans from prejudice and targeted violence. We thank Mohamed for his work and on behalf of the Muslim Community throughout the state of Tennessee we congratulate him for being awarded the 2016 Rising Advocate Award.
