A.J. currently works and lives in Chicago. \nAyanah Moor is a visual artist who centers Blackness and queerness in her approach to painting\, print media\, and performance.

SUMMARY:Reza Aslan on an American Martyr in Persia
DESCRIPTION:Join Reza Aslan (No god but God and Zealot) for the spellbinding tale of a martyr for democracy. Howard Baskerville was a 22-year-old missionary who went to Iran in 1907 and died fighting in the Persian Constitutional Revolution. Was he the “American Lafayette of Iran” or a naive “white savior”?
