DESCRIPTION:Section A (includes book) - $40\nSection B - $20\n\n\nLast July, Khizr Khan 
 captivated the nation with his speech at the Democratic National Convention 
 in which he criticized Donald Trump for his stance against immigrants and 
 Muslims. \n\nHe spoke as the father of a Muslim US soldier killed in combat 
 about what it means to dedicate your life to the promise of the American 
 dream, inspiring a renewed patriotism and pride in the hearts of many 
 Americans. His six-minute speech became a powerful cultural touchstone when 
 he pulled a pocket-size copy of the Constitution out of his suit jacket and 
 asked Donald Trump directly "Let me ask you: have you even read 
 the United States Constitution? I will gladly lend you my copy."\n\nIn 
 his memoir, An American Family: A Memoir of Hope and Sacrifice, he tells 
 the story of his family's pursuit of the American dream and 
 why—especially in these tumultuous times—we must not be afraid to step 
 forward for what we believe in when it matters most. An American Family is 
 an intensely personal story about the nature of true patriotism in which 
 Khzir traces his remarkable journey from humble beginnings on a poultry 
 farm in Pakistan, to obtaining a degree from Harvard Law School, and 
 raising a family in America. He shows what it means to leave the 
 limitations of one's country behind for the best values and promises of 
 another. He also tells the story of his middle child, US Army Captain 
 Humayun Khan, who was killed while protecting his base camp in Iraq, and 
 the ways in which undying pride in their son and his sacrifice have helped 
 him and his wife endure the deepest despair a parent can know.\n\nCIIS 
 Public Programs and GLIDE Center for Social Justice invite you to this 
 important and inspiring discussion with Khizr Khan and May Elawar about 
 what an American looks like, what being a nation of immigrants really 
 means, and what it is to live, rather than simply to pay lip service to, 
 our ideals. \n\nWe have a Buy One Get One Free Sale when you reserve two 
 seats and two copies of Khizr Khan's memoir to help make this event more 
 accessible and encourage book sales. Sale ends Monday Dec 4th at 12PM.\n
