Shared Legacies, The African American-Jewish Civil Rights Alliance

September 13, 2020 - September 16, 2020
Location: Online
This feature length documentary focuses on a proud chapter in modern American history when two communities of different backgrounds — African Americans and Jews — collaborated to transform the moral conscience of the nation. The powerful lessons of this crucial history must be remembered. For too many people today, this history of coming together has never been shared nor heard.
