Beyond Swastika and Jim Crow: Jewish Refugee Scholars at Black Colleges
Tuesday August 7, 2012 from 10:00am - 5:00pm
William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum
1440 Spring St Nw
Atlanta, Georgia 30309 Get Directions
Beyond Swastika and Jim Crow tells the story of Jewish academics from Germany and Austria who were dismissed from their teaching positions in the 1930s. After fleeing to America, some refugee scholars found positions at historically black colleges and universities in the Jim Crow South. The exhibition explores what it meant to the students to have these new staff as part of their community, how the students were affected by their presence, and what life was like for white, European Jews teaching at black colleges and universities. The exhibit looks at the empathy between two minority groups with a history of persecution, some of whom came together in search of freedom and opportunity, and shared the early years of struggle in the Civil Rights movement.
