Manchester resident appears on NPR's "Talk of the Nation"

A benefit from Google Alerts is to see whenever something is written about "Manchester, Michigan." Yesterday, an interesting piece came across and thought I'd share it.

It was a link to NPR's "Talk of the Nation" show, a call-in program for listeners to voice their opinions on different subject matters in the nation. This clip talks about the new television show, "All-American Muslim," a show filmed in Dearborn to showcase Muslims living in America. 

Many of the callers debated on whether the show was a good representation of Islamic life here in America, and one of those callers came from the village. 

A caller identified as Susan called the show from Manchester, and talked about how she would like to see more diversity when it comes to showing Muslims in their day-to-day lives.

"And when I go to the masjid or the mosque in my area in Ann Arbor, I don't see this as a cross-section of Muslims," she told the radio show. "I see this as a very small proportion of Muslims."

It was a show filled with Michigan voices, as another caller voiced their opinion from Ann Arbor, and another from Dearborn.
