Historical Roots of Black and Jewish Relations in America

A historical overview of the relationship between Black and Jewish communities in the 18th and 19th centuries is presented. The segment covers the divide between Northern Jews who often opposed slavery and Southern Jews who sometimes sympathized with it. It highlights how Jewish immigrants in the early 20th century drew parallels between European pogroms and American racial violence like the Tulsa Massacre, while also noting the tensions caused by Jewish assimilation into white society.
