Dutchess Community College welcomes author Aaliyah Bilal for a discussion and book signing in The James & Betty Hall Theatre. “Temple Folk,” her first short-story collection and a 2023 National Book Award finalist, explores the multifaceted identity of Black Muslims in America, delving into their experiences with race, religion, economics, politics, and sexuality. The collection of 10 stories depicts a community resisting mainstream culture while navigating the expectations placed upon them.

This event is free and open to the public.
