Race, History, and Community: A Series Focusing on Race and Justice in America
The Edlavitch DCJCC, in partnership with the Jewish Community Relations Council, the American Jewish Committee (AJC), the Anti Defamation League (ADL), the Adas Israel Congregation Racial Justice Working Group and Sixth & I, is thrilled to offer a three-part program series in the winter/spring of 2017 focusing on education, community building and dialogue around issues of race in America.
The first program in the series is a tour of the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Opened to the public on September 24, 2016, the Museum is the newest member of the Smithsonian Institution and the only national museum devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life, history, and culture. It was established by Act of Congress in 2003, following decades of efforts to promote and highlight the contributions of African Americans. To date, the Museum has collected more than 36,000 artifacts and nearly 100,000 individuals have become charter members.
Please note, we have a very limited number of tickets for this program and pre-registration is required. Only individuals who pre-register will be able to obtain a ticket to enter the Museum with the group. If you would like to be on the waitlist please email Darya at daryaw@edcjcc.org.
