Author Mary Lahaj shares a previously untold chapter of Quincy’s rich history — one rooted in perseverance, faith, and community. Her book traces the journey of her family’s immigrant generation and the first-born American generation as they worked together to realize a dream: building a mosque for future generations. That dream took 30 years to achieve (1934 to 1964). Mary will share the challenges they faced — from financial hardship and social resistance to acts of vandalism, arson, and Islamophobia — and how they overcame them, often with the support of their Christian and Jewish neighbors. Today, the Islamic Center of New England stands proudly alongside Quincy’s historic churches and synagogues, a testament to resilience, interfaith solidarity, and the enduring power of hope. www.birdonawirebook.com.
