11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
A great primer for Jewish groups before having more in depth programming about racism and/or inter racial programming. Explore the reality of the relationship between the Jewish and Black communities during the Civil Rights era. Why were there Jews on both sides, and the sidelines, of the Civil Rights movement? What was the role of Judaism in the activism of young people in the 1960s? What are the implications for the streets of America today?
