Black and Jewish America

Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History is a four-part series tracing the rich, complex relationship between Black and Jewish Americans — defined by solidarity and strained by division. Drawn together by racism and antisemitism, they forged civic and cultural bonds, especially during the civil rights era. The series explores both the challenges and enduring promise of that alliance. Tune in Tuesday, February 3rd, at 8pm.

Raise Your Head Up: Freedom Colonies in America presented by Austin PBS

Raise Your Head Up: Freedom Colonies in America

After the Civil War, four million formerly enslaved people were set free, but most had no place to go. Wanting autonomy over their lives, many formed Freedom Colonies, living far away from the racism of Jim Crow. This special, filmed right here in Texas, follows four of these communities struggling to keep their legacies alive. Tune in Thursday, February 5th, at 9pm.
