Disciples

Mohammad Haidar, or Mo, or Big Mo is a polarizing, grand, and unforgettable personality at the University of Chicago. This piece profiles him not only in terms of what his personal background is, but profiles him in the context of the people who know him. The myriad stories or Mo-ments that people take away from interacting with him. Mohammad is like his namesake, a prophet. He brings a different message to each of his disciples – those who know him – but everyone leaves his presence feeling changed. I want to document this broader sense of community fostered by the biggest character I have met in my life: Mo.
