Arab Americans have long made outsized contributions to American society, whether in the area of science, politics, the arts or other disciplines.
The 2019 American Community Survey shows an estimated 2.1 million people in the United States reported Arab ancestry. The largest group is of Lebanese ancestry, but others claim Yemeni, Algerian, Saudi Arabian, Tunisian, Kuwaiti, Libyan, Kurdish or other Arab origins.
In honor of National Arab American Heritage Month, ShareAmerica highlights five notable Arab Americans making their mark in the United States and beyond.
