"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.

The authors also highlight the role of individuals who identify as both Black and Jewish in leading the way forward.
