  • Resumen

  • While the George Floyd Protests of 2020 brought monuments of oppression into light primarily for Black Americans, social justice issues related to Palestinians came into primary focus more recently with the extreme escalation of conflict in the Gaza Strip since October 2023. However, violence in the United States against Arab Americans, including Palestinian Americans, long predates the current humanitarian crisis in the Middle East. Alex Odeh, a Palestinian-born peace activist was killed in Santa Ana in October of 1985 in a domestic terrorist attack. The Alex Odeh Memorial Statue was installed in front of the Santa Ana Central Library in 1994, but this statue has since been the target of protest and vandalism as well as used as a point of unity and celebration.

    In this episode, we’ll be discussing the Alex Odeh Memorial Statue and how the monument works to reconcile the past wrongdoings against him, his family, and Arab Americans nationwide. We’re joined by his eldest daughter, Helena Odeh, to learn more about Alex Odeh’s life, work, and legacy.
