Join Sara Glass* and your Beth Torah community to learn about the life’s work of Jewish lawyer and civil rights activist Sidney Willens. Willens, who also happens to be Sara’s grandfather, spent his life in Kansas City as an attorney and activist dedicated to making the world a better place. What can we learn from him about how to make a difference here and now?
Dividing Lines is a tour of the history of residential segregation and its far-reaching impacts. Residential segregation and the racial wealth gap didn't just happen through some automatic human instinct or by chance. Individual actions in tandem with state and federal policies created our current reality. By highlighting the history of segregation in Kansas City, Dividing Lines sheds light on the governmental policies and individual actions which decimated Black neighborhoods all over the United States.
