Black Power, Jewish Politics: Interview and Q&A with Author Marc Dollinger
Thursday, November 18, 7:00 P.M.
Communities in Conversation and the Memphis Jewish Community Center are hosting a virtual event with Marc Dollinger, author of Black Power, Jewish Politics: Reinventing the Alliance in the 1960s. The event will feature an interview with Dollinger by Dr. Justin Rose, chair and associate professor of politics and law at ǿմý, and Dr. Jonathan Judaken, professor of history and the Spence L. Wilson Chair in the Humanities.
Marc Dollinger is an author, professor, and endowed research chair of Jewish Studies and Social Responsibility at San Francisco State University. His latest book, Black Power, Jewish Politics: Reinventing the Alliance in the 1960s, challenges the “accepted knowledge” that the fallout of the alliance between Black and Jewish Americans was caused by the rise of Black nationalism.
