Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History
Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History explores the powerful, complex relationship between two communities shaped by resilience. Bound together by the forces of racism and antisemitism, Black and Jewish Americans built deep civic and cultural ties—standing side by side during some of the most pivotal moments in the civil rights movement.
But this is not a simple story. Alongside solidarity came strain, as shifting times tested that alliance.
Through powerful storytelling and fresh perspectives, this series uncovers both the challenges and the enduring promise of a relationship that helped shape modern America—and continues to resonate today.
