How can moments in Jewish, Muslim, and African American history and tradition be activated to bear upon the present moment? Scholars present short talks that explore histories of exclusion and displacement in Jewish culture, Muslim traditions of solidarity, and Jewish Arab and African-American activism, drawing links to the Muslim ban and actions against immigrants and refugees. Discussion will follow. All invited.
