Reckoning with the Roots of Antisemitism and Racism
September 10, 2024 Written by Staff
In this lecture, Magda Teter of Fordham University explores the deeply connected roots of modern antisemitism and anti-Black racism. In a powerful historical narrative spanning nearly two millennia, Teter describes how theological and legal frameworks created by the church centuries ago led to legal exclusion, persecution, and a denial of equality and rights to both Jews and Black people. This lecture is free and open to the public. Networking and light refreshments begin at 5:00 pm and the lecture at 5:30 pm.
