HISTORY, ARCHIVES & MUSEUMS
The monthly Black-Jewish Dialogues began in Chattanooga virtually in July 2020 and quickly spread across the USA and internationally. As our communities progress in understanding each other, we explore new topics each month. History is frequently an underlying theme.
Many thanks to our February Presenters:
John Edwards: Chattanooga historian working with the Bessie Smith Cultural Center and President of The Chattanooga News Chronicle.
Dr. Dana Herman: Managing Editor and Director of Research & Collections of the American Jewish Archives.
