Inside Moment: The Complexity of Black Jewish Relations in the 1960s
The American Black-Jewish alliance of the 20th century is legendary. Jews and Blacks worked together to found the NAACP in 1909 and fought side by side to change civil rights law in the 1960s. The flip side, including the rise of the Black Power movement is also legendary. But the story of Black-Jewish relations in the 1960s is more complex than we often think, and not all of its lessons—and language—are relevant today. What can be done now to forge closer bonds between the two communities? Author Mark Dollinger met with civil rights strategist Eric Ward and Moment Editor-in-Chief Nadine Epstein to discuss ways to build new alliances for a new time.
