Beyond Swastika and Jim Crow: Jewish Refugee Scholars at Black Colleges May 12, 2010

This exhibition explores a unique bond that grew between two groups - Jewish professors who fled Nazi Germany and African-American students at historically black colleges where the refugee professors taught. Viewers are invited to learn the stories of two disenfranchised groups with a history of persecution, some of whom came together in search of freedom and opportunity and shared the early years of struggle in the Civil Rights movement.
