Join Henry Louis Gates Jr. with filmmakers Phil Bertelsen and Sara Wolitzky for a conversation with Sen. Cory Booker on their new PBS series, Black & Jewish America: An Interwoven History.
When Black Americans and Jewish Americans work together to fight for civil rights, they are unstoppable — but solidarity has not always been easy to achieve. Why? Tracing the long, intertwined relationship between Black Americans and Jewish Americans — one shaped by shared struggles against racism and antisemitism, but also by tension and misunderstanding — Black & Jewish America moves across centuries, cities, and movements, telling a story of an alliance forged in hope, challenged by history, and renewed through honest reckoning. Gates — the host of the series and one of the nation’s most trusted guides to American history — joins filmmakers Phil Bertelsen and Sara Wolitzky with Sen. Cory Booker for a frank, illuminating discussion about memory, identity, and the power of storytelling to open doors.
How might our shared history help shape a more generous future? Join us for a thoughtful and urgent conversation about the roots of Black and Jewish solidarity in America.
