Freedom Seder Revisited

For the first time, the ancient Jewish story of liberation was intertwined with a current struggle for liberation: Black America's fight for equal rights. This monumental event is now known as the original Freedom Seder. Jews around the world are told they must teach the Passover story to their children, to the next generation. In 1969, leaders interpreted that message in the context of the Civil Rights Movement. They brought together a group of people from all backgrounds to celebrate a common desire and right: freedom.
