"Uncertain Future for Black-Jewish 'Grand Alliance'"

The historic alliance between Black and Jewish Americans during the civil rights era is being reexamined amidst diverging views on the Israel-Hamas conflict, testing the partnership. Scholars emphasize the need for mutual understanding and collaboration, citing cultural and artistic ties as potential bridges. The physical distance between the communities, once more proximate, has led to efforts to reconnect through organizations and art. The authors also highlight the role of individuals who identify as both Black and Jewish in leading the way forward.
