The story of the Jewish people's miraculous journey from slavery to freedom inspired Black slaves before their liberation in America with hope for the future. And in the mid-20th Century, the American Jewish community made the largest contribution of finances and legal advocacy resources to the Civil Rights Movement in the historic battle against systemic racial discrimination in the United States. Since then, the historic partnership between African Americans and Jews has all but disintegrated. Both communities lost much from abandoning an alliance that was mutually beneficial. Again today, both communities have much to gain from rebuilding this crucial alliance.
