MARIETTA - Join us this summer at the Marietta History Center as we continue to host traveling exhibits from Kennesaw State University's Museum of History and Holocaust Education. We are pleased to exhibit "Black + Jewish: Connection, Courage, Community" now through Saturday, July 27th, 2024.
"Black + Jewish: Connection, Courage, Community" is a ten-panel traveling exhibit that explores the history of Black and Jewish relationships in the United States. When built on shared values and a mutual desire for civil and human rights those relationships have brought us closer to the ideal of inclusive democracy.
This exhibit is from the Museum of History and Holocaust Education (MHHE) at Kennesaw State University who received a grant from the Breman Foundation of Atlanta to create a traveling exhibit in support of its 2021 goals of combating antisemitism, addressing race relations, and working for social justice. During spring semester 2021, public history students in HIST 4427 worked with MHHE curator Adina Langer to produce the exhibit.
When: Now through Saturday, July 27th, 2024
Where: Marietta History Center - 1 Depot Street, Marietta, GA 30060
Cost: $10 Adults, $7 Senior / Student, FREE for Children under 5 and those with a Military ID
