(ThyBlackMan.com) My Fellow American is an online film and social media project that calls upon concerned Americans to pledge and spread a message that Muslims are our fellow Americans.  Using the power of social media, My Fellow American seeks to change the narrative – from Muslims as the other, to Muslims as our fellow Americans.

Most Americans have never met an American Muslim. Many only know  Muslims through the way they are portrayed in the media. American Muslims are so often seen as “the other” that it is possible not to recognize that most were born in the U.S. Or that those who immigrated here came seeking the same freedoms and opportunities that have always attracted people to America.

My Fellow American is a project of Unity Productions Foundation (http://www.upf.tv), a media and education non profit organization with the mission to create peace through the media.
