Dr. Clarence B. Jones and Robert Kraft in Conversation with Gayle King: The Historic Roots of Black and Jewish Solidarity at 92nd Street Y
Following the historic Super Bowl ad by the Foundation to the Combat Antisemitism (FCAS) that featured Spill the Honey Chairman/MLK Speechwriter Dr. Clarence Jones FCAS Founder Robert Kraft and Civil Rights leader and speechwriter Dr. Clarence B. Jones -- who is continuing Dr. King’s legacy as Chairman of Spill the Honey Foundation — will come together once again for an intimate conversation with CBS Mornings Host Gayle King to discuss their special friendship and partnership the historic bonds between the Black and Jewish communities that can serve as a foundation and symbol for teaching tolerance and fighting inequality and also their efforts both collaboratively and through their respective organizations to combat antisemitism and stand up to hate. Dr. Jones was profoundly influenced by a Rabbi Joachim Prinz speech underscoring the strength of the Black and Jewish coalition.

The conversation will begin following a short screening of Spill the Honey’s documentary Shared Legacies that prominently features Dr. Jones and shares the history of the Black-Jewish alliance born at the height of the Civil Rights Movement and elements of FCAS’ award-winning “Stand Up to Jewish Hate” campaign a $25 million advertising campaign that utilizes power storytelling to educate all Americans about Jewish hate and all hate and empower them to address hate in their communities.
