2019 Ramadan
"Seeking Justice Together"
“O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness.” (5:8)
Welcome to the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion 2019 Ramadan Appeal homepage.
This is the fifth consecutive Ramadan Appeal, begun by our former board chair and dear colleague, Ghalib Begg.
During the 78 years, the Roundtable has been standing against harm to our neighbors because of their religion, race or other identities, we have enjoyed a long history with the Muslim community.
The 74th Annual Tribute Dinner is an incredible opportunity to foster community connections between our community and corporate partners. Featuring keynote address by Dr. Reuben Miller, author of Halfway Home: Race, Punishment, and the Afterlife of Mass Incarceration, and Orlando Bailey, from Authentically Detroit Podcast and Bridge Detroit as evening host, you won't leave disappointed!
The 74th Tribute Dinner is a chance for us to celebrate and recognize outstanding members of our community, as well as our valued corporate partners, who have shown exemplary leadership, unwavering passion, and an unyielding commitment to creating pathways to hope.
We will be honoring Satori Shakoor, Delisha Upshaw, Danielle Atkinson, Nakia Wallace, Fifth Third Bank and our past board members.
Your presence as a sponsor or as a ticket holder ensures that we can continue making a positive impact and cultivating beloved and just communities in Michigan.
