Thanks to a collaboration with South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA), the only independent non-profit organization working to document, preserve and provide access to the rich history of South Asians in the United States, we’re delighted to share an original image every Monday.
Today’s photo shows an image of the Ismaili Muslim Youth Marching Band in Chicago’s Bangladesh Independence Day parade in 2000. On March 26, 1971, Bangladesh declared its independence from Pakistan. You can find the original photo archived on the SAADA website.
