United in Spirit, a collaboration between the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, the Portland Chapter of NAACP, the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education and Project Dialogue, is thrilled to bring Shared Legacies to Portland via a virtual film screening.

The film will be available for screening all day from Sunday, September 13 through Tuesday September 15. A discussion with the filmmaker Dr. Shari Rogers and local members of Portland's African American and Jewish communities will be held on Wednesday, September 16 from 7-8:30 PM.

The screening link for the film will be sent out individually to those that have registered as well as detailed instructions on how to view the film. This link will be sent out at 6 am on Sunday, September 13 and it will be active through 11:59 pm on Tuesday, September 15

There is no cost to screen the film nor to attend the September 16 discussion but registration is required.

Shared Legacies: The African American Jewish Civil Rights Alliance, is a feature length documentary film that focuses on a proud chapter in modern American history when two communities of different backgrounds collaborated to transform the moral conscience of the nation. The powerful lessons of this crucial history must be remembered. For too many people today, the history of African Americans and Jews coming together has never been shared nor heard.
