Abstract:
This article examines the role of the Muhammad Ali Center, in Louisville, Kentucky, as a significant site for challenging Islamophobia. The article focuses on how representational interventions and programmatic initiatives disrupt intensifications of anti-Black, anti-immigrant, and anti-Islamic sentiments in public discourses while fostering an alternative, inclusive vision of human flourishing.
