Understanding the history of white supremacy within our nation is key when considering how we as individuals can help create a more just future. Eric Ward joins us to explore the broad history of white supremacy and consider the connections between antisemitism and white nationalist ideology in the United States.
This program is presented in partnership with the Baltimore Jewish Council and the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education.
