During the chaotic decade of the 1960s, a powerful alliance emerged between Black and Jewish activists fighting for civil rights across America. These communities, both with histories of persecution and struggle, joined forces on protest lines, worshipped together, and sacrificed to change the moral fabric of the country.
However, that historic partnership now faces serious challenges as antisemitism and racism surge worldwide. The legacy of that transformative collaboration is at risk of being lost, undermined by widespread misinformation and intentional efforts to erase historical facts.
Through an initiative known as Spill the Honey, veteran civil rights leaders and documentary filmmakers are now attempting to restore the solidarity that once existed between these two communities. Their work comes at a critical time when both groups face increasing threats and hostility.
The effort aims to remind Americans of the shared struggles and common goals that brought Black and Jewish activists together during one of the most pivotal periods in the nation’s civil rights history.
