Hastings Broward Black-Jewish Alliance, YMCA of South Florida, Brushstrokes for History, and South Florida People of Color, are proud to present a powerful documentary, “Shared Legacies” on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, 7 p.m.at the Victory Black Box Theater, located in the in the L.A. Lee YMCA / Mizell Community Center 1409 NW Sixth St – 3rd Floor, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311 NW 6th St – 3rd Floor, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311.
“Shared Legacies” delves into the history of Black-Jewish cooperation in America and revisits the profound alliance that emerged during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s when Jewish leaders stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and others to advocate for racial equality and harmony. Through historical materials and first-hand accounts, the documentary illuminates pivotal moments in history while confronting the fading memory of this powerful partnership in recent years.
