Blacks and Jews have struggled for equal rights in the US for a long time and both have faced often violent pushback during these struggles. In America violence is on the rise against both groups. This conversation will look at the shared histories, accomplishments, and setbacks and explore how these groups might work together more closely today to accomplish monumental things for Blacks, Jews, and all Americans in Tulsa and Beyond.

This is the recording of the talk that happened on the evening of February 4th at Charles Schusterman Jewish Community Center.
