Khalil al-Sakakini
خليل السكاكيني1878–1953
Born in Jerusalem on 23 January 1878, he taught, worked in the United States in 1907–08, and back in Jerusalem campaigned to free the Orthodox Church in Palestine from the dominance of its Greek officials. In 1909 he co-founded the Dusturiyya School, open to students of every religion and taught by modern, secular methods. In 1936 he joined the Palestine Broadcasting Service but soon resigned when its Jewish announcer called the country “the land of Israel”. He died in Cairo on 13 August 1953.
