Charles McDew may be the most important civil rights leader you’ve never heard of. Come learn about McDew’s leadership of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee and voter registration drives in the South during the 1960s. We will also explore McDew’s personal journey to Judaism and how it informed his civil rights work and activism. McDew’s longtime partner, Beri Gilfix, will tell his story. The event will be moderated by Gann Academy history teacher Yoni Kadden.

Join us for morning minyan at 8, with bagels and coffee starting at 9 if you are comfortable. The event will start at 10 and will be held both live and via Zoom. Zoom link will be sent to all registrants.
