- Food
Back in the Fall I was blessed with being asked to interview famed author and story teller, Michael Twitty on the main stage at the Capital Jewish Museum Festival. I did an Industry Night about it as well — please see past episodes — and while I was chatting with Michael I met LaNitra Berger. LaNitra is an Associate Professor of History and Art History and a Director of African and African American Studies at George Mason University and she told be that she and Lauren Strauss who is a Senior Professorial Lecturer (History Department and Jewish Studies Program) and Director of Undergraduate Studies, Jewish Studies ProgramAmerican University were co-teaching a program together! I was like I need to know more. Given what’s happening in the world today — pre-Ye or post — there’s places where the Jewish & Black diaspora connect and also divide. We really go into it ~
Quotes
So across the spectrum where black people were able to flourish in the arts, you often find that Jewish people are supportive in a variety of ways. - Lanitra
I felt that it was a responsibility to also talk about less attractive, less positive examples of black Jewish interaction and give sort of, you know, of a fuller, fuller fledged picture of Jewish interaction with black customers. - Lauren
