Directed by Dr. Shari Rogers
In honor of “good trouble” Congressman John Lewis
and Rev. C.T. Vivian
SHARED LEGACIES is a moving tribute to the historic partnership between Jews and African Americans during the long history of the civil rights struggle in America. It begins with the founding of the NAACP in 1909 and showcases the bigotry and segregation that both groups have faced. There are narrations and testimonies from Holocaust survivors, leaders, and advocates such as U.S. Rep. John Lewis, Rev. C.T. Vivian and Dr. Clarence B. Jones, Martin Luther King’s confidants, Rabbi Alvin Sugarman, actor/activist Harry Belafonte and daughter Gina Belafonte, Dr. Susannah Heschel, daughter of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, members of the King family, and many others.
SHARED LEGACIES contends with profound issues of antisemitism and systemic racism that engulf us in the current national crisis and pursues the aspiration of Dr. King to create a “coalition of conscience.”
