Today, while the divi­sions between dif­fer­ent groups in this coun­try feel more and more insur­mount­able, we zero in on a par­tic­u­lar neigh­bor­hood to see if one man can draw peo­ple togeth­er in a poten­tial­ly his­to­ry-mak­ing election. 

Khad­er El-Yateem is a Pales­tin­ian Amer­i­can run­ning for office in Bay Ridge, Brook­lyn, one of the most divid­ed, and most con­ser­v­a­tive neigh­bor­hoods in New York City. To win, he’ll need to con­vince a wild­ly diverse pop­u­la­tion that he can speak for all of them, and he’ll need to pull one par­tic­u­lar group of peo­ple, Arab Amer­i­can Mus­lims, out of the shad­ows and into the polit­i­cal process. And to make things just a bit more inter­est­ing, El-Yateem is a Luther­an minister.
