Pre-Conference Film

From Swastika to Jim Crow

A film about Jewish refugee scholars from Nazi Germany who served on the faculties of Black colleges in the southern United States. The film focuses on the developing relationship between scholars and students, both victims-in their respective contexts-of racial oppression and persecution. Lori Cheatle, filmmaker, led a post-film discussion.
