International Museum of Muslim Cultures

The International Museum of Muslim Cultures (IMMC) is "America’s first Islamic history and culture museum". It was established in April 2001, in Jackson, Mississippi in what is now the Arts Center of Mississippi.

The museum was co-founded by Emad Al-Turk and Okolo Rashid in response to the perception of Muslims in an exhibit at the then Mississippi Arts Pavilion. What was intended as a temporary exhibition became a permanent museum as of May 2002. It also celebrates the contributions of Jackson's own Muslim population.

Islamic Heritage Month
Islamic Heritage Month is an annual celebration of the world's diverse Muslim cultures in April, with workshops all month long and a festival of music, fun and learning.
