We are saddened to announce the loss of ACLU-KY Board member Dr. Yacoub E. Yacoub on Friday, March 2, 2008. He was 72 years old.
Dr. Yacoub was a great defender of civil rights and most recently served as the chair of Kentucky’s Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee. He was a founder and former president of the Arab American Association of Louisville and one of the founders of the American Palestine Public Affairs Forum.
He was born in Cairo, Egypt to parents of Palestinian origin. He graduated from Cairo University and began his professional career in Iraq. Dr. Yacoub also practiced in Birmingham, England and Boston, MA before settling in Louisville in 1973. At the time of his retirement he was Chief of Anesthesia at Jewish Hospital.
Board member Djenita Pasic remembers Dr. Yacoub as “An accomplished professional, a great activist, and a wonderful husband, father and friend….I will always treasure our friendship and keep many happy memories of Dr. Yacoub. He will forever remain a true inspiration to me and certainly many of those who have had the good fortune to know him.”
