Marc Dollinger - Black Power, Jewish Politics: Reinventing the Alliance in the 1960s

Professor Marc Dollinger, the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Chair, Social Responsibility at San Francisco State University, presents his lecture "Black Power, Jewish Politics: Reinventing the Alliance in the 1960s" before an audience at Temple Solel (www.templesolel.org/) in Paradise Valley, AZ. ABOUT THIS LECTURE: Professor Dollinger’s most recent book, Black Power, Jewish Politics: Reinventing The Alliance In The 1960s, takes a new and different look at Jewish involvement in the civil rights movement, showing how American Jews leveraged the Black Power movement to increase Jewish ethnic and religious identity in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Join us as we explore never-before-seen historical documents that reveal a story that’s been hidden from view for over half a century. With so much contemporary interest in Black Lives Matter and larger questions of race and justice, we’ll explore a fascinating and surprising Jewish past.
