I campaigned for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. I will never forget the tears that streamed down my face when, after a long day of “Get Out The Vote” door-knocking in Chicagoland’s American Muslim neighborhoods, I watched him walk out on stage in Grant Park on the television screen in my family’s living room. A person with a name like mine was elected President of the United States.
