How does the history of Jewish advocacy on behalf of Black citizens shape how we advance racial justice today? Hasia Diner’s book, In the Almost Promised Land: American Jews and Blacks, 1915-1935, was written amidst the political strife of the late 1970s and remains a seminal work of scholarship on Jewish involvement in the early Civil Rights movement. Join us for a lively and informative two-part interview of Hasia Diner by Yiddish performer Anthony Mordechai Tzvi Russell.
