Great story Jordan. Jews, among others Black, Brown and White, have been involved in civil rights all along. I marched in the second youth march on Washington in 1959 and sat in in Chestertown on the Eastern Maryland shore. My brother participated in the Mississipi summer efforts in 1964.
While there have been frictions between African Americans and Jews, some springs from close contact as they shared neighborhoods and more.
