Understanding Muslim heritage in Nevada

There are an estimated 2 billion Muslims worldwide and Islam is the second largest religion in the world. Yet many Muslims in the United States suffer from religious discrimination, their faith often misunderstood or overlooked.

Join civics reporter Alex Couraud as she dives into the rich culture of Muslim Americans in Nevada on the cusp of the passage of AB278, a bill that would dedicate the month of July to Muslim heritage.
