This Year The Axelrod Jewish Israel Film Festival Showcased a Special 'Jewish Black Alliance' Film Series
As part of our Film Education Series, we are proud to offer three extraordinary films – Joachim Prinz: I Shall Not be Silent, SHARED LEGACIES: The African-American Jewish Civil Rights Alliance and THEY AIN'T READY FOR ME. These True Stories illuminate the Jewish/Black Alliances that helped shape the Civil Rights Movement. As continuing ALLIES, we stand with our Black Sisters and Brothers during this Pivotal Moment in the Struggle for Equality and Justice.
