Study the strategies of other diasporas, particularly in the UK (Southall Sisters, responding to P*ki-bashing) and South Africa (Ahmed Kathrada, Fatima Meer, Amina Cachalia, Mac Maharaj). FYI, Mac Maharaj is in the US - https://news.hofstra.edu/event/conversations-with-a-human-rights-activist-mac-maharaj-event/.
