Ali Noorani

Ali Noorani (SPH’99) of Washington, D.C., recipient of the 2007 BU Young Alumni Award, has served as executive director of the National Immigration Forum since 2008. He recently published There Goes the Neighborhood: How Communities Overcome Prejudice and Meet the Challenge of American Immigration (Prometheus Books, 2017). “Based on interviews with nearly 60 faith, law enforcement, and business leaders, I make the argument that the nation’s immigration debate is about culture and values, not politics and policy,” Ali writes.
