Jewish Heroes Of The Civil Rights Movement
February 29 @ 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Some people incorrectly think of the civil rights movement as African-American people 
versus white people.
The truth is that many white people, including many Jewish Americans, provided physical, emotional, and monetary support to the movement. It would be more accurate to describe the civil rights battles of the 1950s and 60s as a battle between good and evil.
This inspiring and fascinating multimedia presentation will examine how Jewish Americans committed themselves to Dr. King’s goals of freedom, voting rights, community, and an end to discrimination. We will examine
“King repeatedly used the Jewish experience as a model of success over oppression. He respected and admired the values taught by Judaism and, as a deeply religious man, felt inspired by the Torah itself. He was sure that an alliance between blacks and Jews was fundamental to progress in civil rights. King felt a sense of kinship with the Jewish people and welcomed — even expected – – Jewish support and felt let down when it was not forthcoming.” Rabbi Marc Schneier
