On Friday, June 19, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., your local Jewish Community Relations Council, Juneteenth Reading PA, and members of the Greater Reading Unity Coalition (GRUC), in partnership with the Reading Public Museum, will present a special screening of Henry Louis Gates, Jr.'s documentary series, Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History.

The documentary explores the rich and complex relationship between Black and Jewish Americans, highlighting both the solidarity and challenges experienced throughout history. Following the screening, attendees will participate in a panel discussion designed to encourage meaningful dialogue and build stronger connections among our diverse communities.

Come together for an afternoon of learning, reflecting, and conversation as we watch episode three of Henry Louis Gates, Jr.’s documentary series Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History. This powerful series traces the complex relationship between Black and Jewish Americans — a history shaped by both solidarity and tension — while exploring the challenges and enduring promise of that connection.

Following the screening, hear from a panel, as they reflect on the series and discuss how it addresses and represents the experiences of Black Jews in the United States. Panelists will also explore the importance of strengthening interfaith partnerships in this moment and discuss the role community members can play in supporting local Jewish organizations of color already engaged in interfaith solidarity work.
