Series premiere of ‘Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History’

Tuesday, February 3 at 8 p.m.

“Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History” is a four-part series tracing the rich, complex relationship between Black and Jewish Americans, defined by solidarity and strained by division.

Drawn together by racism and antisemitism, they forged civic and cultural bonds, especially during the civil rights era. The series explores both the challenges and enduring promise of that alliance.

Episode one of “Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History” explores the intersecting and diverging fates of the Black and Jewish communities up to the 1920s.

Trials of exile, faith, migration and solidarity shape their joint story.
