Enjoy a preview of the PBS national series from Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr., Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History with WMHT Public Media. In addition, WMHT will present local stories from the Capital Region and a discussion exploring local identity, culture, and community.

Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History is a four-part series tracing the rich, complex relationship between Black Americans and Jewish Americans—defined by solidarity and strained by division. Drawn together by racism and antisemitism, they forged civic and cultural bonds, especially during the civil rights era. The series explores both the challenges and enduring promise of that alliance.
