From The Imam’s Office:
With G-d’s Name, The Merciful Benefactor, The Merciful Redeemer
“Dear Imam Shareef,
Thank you very much for being on the panel “Educating Citizens About Violence Prevention.” Your insights about your daughter and personal views about the culture of violence were very interesting. In fact, Dr. Myers’s brother who lives in Wyoming, watched the live stream and thought your presentation was outstanding!
We deeply appreciate your personal involvement in our efforts to “Change the Culture of Violence.” We hold you in high esteem and were honored when you attended the June press conference at the Kennedy Rec Center; appreciated your reprint of the Non-Violence Talking Points Guide; and valued your personal participation at the National Summit.
We want you to know that your presence strengthens everything we do and we appreciate you as a leader here in Washington, D.C. and in the nation. These are troubled times and we must all stick together.
Best wishes and sincere thanks,
Dr. Stephanie E. Myers and Delegate Daun S. Hester
National Co-Chairs, Black Women for Positive Change “
