Shared Legacies, is a film that revisits the crucial historical lessons of Black-Jewish cooperation during the turbulent Civil Rights era, as many Jewish leaders backed the efforts of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to achieve racial equality and harmony. Pivotal events “come alive through a treasure trove of archival materials, narrated by eyewitnesses, activists, Holocaust survivors, and leaders of the movement.”
