Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History is a newly released four-part series from acclaimed scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr, exploring the rich, complex relationship between Black and Jewish Americans throughout our country’s history. It is a kinship defined by powerful moments of solidarity and painful episodes of division.

During this webinar, hosted in partnership between Facing History & Ourselves and Share My Lesson, we’ll be in conversation with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. to discuss what inspired him to tackle this history and the process of turning it into a documentary. We’ll also explore what questions these interwoven stories raise for today’s students and explore ways to bring this series into your classroom. View the trailer for Black and Jewish America.
