Dr. Hasna Muhammad describes growing up as one of the children of late acting and civil rights legends Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis as “ordinary and extraordinary.”

“We grew up doing things children do like chores and homework,” she said during a recent interview. “We had the opportunity to participate in historical events and be around people who made a difference in the lives of so many others.”
