Lila's Story
Here is part of Omar's family history. His great-grandmother, Lila, was born in 1938 in a small town. When she was a child, she learned to sew from her aunt. In 1957, Lila moved to a city to work at a clothing shop. In 1962, she married Sam. Later, Lila and Sam moved to Cedar Grove, where they raised two children. In 1985, Lila taught her granddaughter Noor to sew. Noor keeps a photo of that lesson.
