A transit officer kneeling in prayer, a subway rolling past a mosque in Astoria, and a Halal food cart worker smiling into a camera nearly two decades ago – these are just some of the intimate moments of Muslim life in New York City captured on film. Muslim in New York , an exhibit opening at the Museum of the City of New York on Saturday, shows the works of four photographers who traveled the city to document members of communities working, worshipping, going to school, playing sports and posing for portraits.

Martin Luther King Day events and Historic photographs
Since it was first observed nationwide in January of 1986, the holiday commemorating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has served as a reminder of his legacy to the causes of civil rights, nonviolent opposition and community service. Along with becoming a volunteer in NYC to help honor Dr. King’s memory, there are plenty of Martin Luther King Day events to check out on the day itself over the weekend, including live-music tributes, museum exhibitions, readings and more.
