Fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad Qualifies For Olympics, Will Become First U.S. Athlete To Compete In A Hijab

Muhammad, an African American women’s saber fencer, first made history several years ago when she became the first Muslim woman to compete for the U.S. in fencing. Now that she has qualified for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Muhammad is making history once more.

“I want to compete in the Olympics for the United States to prove that nothing should hinder anyone from reaching their goals — not race, religion or gender”

**NOT** ASKING FOR $$ - so please keep reading!! 😁

My little brother - He’s 9, in the 4th grade and working on a really neat science\geography project for school.

Part of the information he needs is peoples’ heights and the state/region they’re from. He’s already asked our entire family, a few neighbors, favorite teachers, and a lot of friends.. but his graphs don’t have a lot of diversity since we all live in p much the same area.

Want to help a wicked cool kid out? 😊 Here’s all you need to do!

Please reblog with your: • height • gender • state/country - you live in?

Anyone outside the US would be an awesome addition to his project, too!

(*no* other information will be used, like url’s, names, pictures, ect if you’re worried about that sort if thing)

Thanks guys! It would be really great to get a ton of reblogs from all over, signal boost this, help make some awesome 4th grade PIE GRAPHS, POSTER BOARD WITH PUFF PAINT AND OTHER COOL STUFF!!
