PRIVATE SCREENINGS

Shared Legacies is a powerful and timely documentary that revisits the enduring partnership between Black and Jewish communities during the Civil Rights Movement—and challenges us to reclaim that spirit today. In the turbulent 1960s, a shared vision of justice brought these communities together, as Jewish leaders stood alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the fight for racial equality. Yet in recent decades, this once-strong alliance has frayed or is often overlooked or misunderstood. ​ Through rare archival footage and deeply personal interviews, Shared Legacies brings this history to life. The film features voices of eyewitnesses, activists, Holocaust survivors, and movement leaders, including Congressman John Lewis, Ambassador Andrew Young, Dr. Clarence Jones, Louis Gossett Jr., members of the King family, Dr. Susannah Heschel and many others. At a moment when division and hate are again on the rise, the film serves as both a reminder and a call to action. A new generation is stepping forward, committed to advancing justice, strengthening relationships, and building bridges across difference. Shared Legacies is ultimately a story of unity, empathy, and partnership—affirming that freedom and equality can only be achieved when we come together.
