Topic
Jews and the American Civil Rights Movement and Beyond with Prof. Eli Lederhendler
Date & Time
Selected Sessions:
Apr 14, 2024 07:00 PM
Description
In this series we analyze how race became American society’s most pressing domestic issue in the postwar decades, how Jews in America were affected by this trend, and whether Jews can be considered an influential party to that national debate. Did the legacy of the civil rights struggle have special meaning for Jews? How can we account for the “disappearing Jew” in the identity politics of the post-sixties years?
Part I: The Road to Desegregation
Part II: Jews, Counterculture, and the Black-Jewish Alliance
Part III: Black Power and Jewish Identity
The program takes place at 7 P.M. Israel time (12 P.M. EDT)
