Registration Required CLICK HERE
 
In August of 2017, neo-Nazis and white supremacists stormed the city of Charlottesville, leaving death and trauma in their wake. The violence was a wakeup call for many Americans about the rise of right-wing extremism in our midst. Tragically, that threat has only grown in the years sense, with violent attacks devastating communities from Poway to Pittsburgh, El Paso to Atlanta. But we are not powerless. In just a few months, a groundbreaking lawsuit against the organizers of the Charlottesville attack goes to trial, with the potential to bankrupt and dismantle the hate groups at the center of this movement.
 
Join us for a panel discussion on the history of racial violence in America and how this Charlottesville lawsuit could serve as a model for holding accountable the forces of violent hate and white supremacy.
 

 
We’ll be joined by:
·        Amy Spitalnick, the Executive Director of the organization behind the lawsuit, Integrity First for America
·        Charles Chavis, Assistant Professor of Conflict Resolution and History and the Founder and Director of the John Mitchell Jr. Program for History Justice and Race at George Mason University
·        Rabbi Joe Prass, Director of the Weinberg Center for Holocaust Education, will offer opening remarks and share the reactions of Holocaust survivors and their families to images from Charlottesville and the US Capitol.
.        Rev. John Vaughn,  Executive Pastor of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.

Exhibitions

  • The Guiding Hand : An exhibition of Torah pointers

    We are pleased to present an important and intriguing exhibition of Torah pointers, objects central to Jewish prayer and ritual. Known by their Hebrew name, yads, these ceremonial yet practical instruments are used to keep one’s place in the Torah scroll when reading from its densely hand-lettered Hebrew text. The Guiding Hand: The Barr Foundation Judaica Collection of Torah Pointers is on view in The Breman’s newly updated Discovery Gallery from October 11 through December 2023.

  • History with Chutzpah : Stories of The Southern Jewish Adventure

    The 250+ artifacts, documents, photographs and oral histories in the exhibition, reveal stories from the generations before us and offer you a journey into Jewish culture unlike any other.
