Shared Legacies

 To commemorate the 60^th Anniversary of the Selma Bridge Crossing, the Jewish Community Relations Council of Broward County/Alcee L. Hastings Broward Black-Jewish Alliance, YMCA of South Florida, Brushstrokes for History, and South Florida People of Color, will present the powerful documentary, “Shared Legacies” on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, 7:00PM at the Victory Black Box Theater, located in the in the L.A. Lee YMCA / Mizell Community Center 1409 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.

Admission is FREE. Doors open at 6:30PM and the film will start promptly at 7PM, followed by discussion. Parking is available.
