FEAR OF BLACK CONSCIOUSNESS, 1PM
https://jewishbookweek.com/event/fear-of-black-consciousness/

>From the Jewish origins of Black Panther to investigating what privilege means today, Judith Butler says that the latest book from Professor Lewis R. Gordon shows "the critical powers of creativity in dismantling racism by the making of Black consciousness, the making of a world where breath and love and existence become possible." The head of philosophy at UCONN-Storrs and founder of the Center for Afro-Jewish Studies joins Judge Dennis Davis, one of South Africa’s most respected legal minds in conversation live from the US.

THE JEWISH WORLD OF ALEXANDER HAMILTON, 2.30PM
https://jewishbookweek.com/event/the-jewish-world-of-alexander-hamilton/

The untold story of the founding father’s likely Jewish upbringing and its revolutionary consequences. His Caribbean youth has remained shrouded in mystery, with most biographers assuming a Christian boyhood. But with his life in focus thanks to Hamilton, Andrew Porwancher debunks a string of myths and explores the unique relationship he cultivated with the Jewish community, fighting for a republic in which Jew and Gentile would stand as equals. In conversation with Rabbi Stuart Halpern. REGISTER FOR THIS FREE ONLINE EVENT (https://jewishbookweek.com/event/the-jewish-world-of-alexander-hamilton/)
