Shared Struggles, Shared Stories: Black Power, Jewish Politics, and the Fight for Justice
Overview
As questions of race, identity, and justice continue to stir public life in America — and within the Jewish community — few moments in history feel more instructive than the encounter between the Civil Rights and Black Power movements.
In his groundbreaking book Black Power, Jewish Politics, for which Ilana Kaufman wrote the Afterword, historian Marc Dollinger reexamines this pivotal era, revealing how the rise of Black self-determination reshaped Jewish identity, activism, and the very language of justice.
Join us to reflect on what that history can teach us today: about allyship and accountability, solidarity and separation, and how the legacies of the 1960s continue to shape multiracial Jewish life and the broader struggle for equality in 2025.
