Jewish contributions to civil rights

Jewish individuals and organizations have significantly contributed to the Civil Rights Movement, particularly in the U.S., advocating for racial equality and justice. Many Jewish Americans supported efforts like the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the March on Washington, offering financial aid, legal assistance, and moral support. Prominent Jewish leaders and activists, such as Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, marched alongside civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., emphasizing the Jewish commitment to justice. Their involvement helped highlight the interconnectedness of struggles against oppression and promoted solidarity across different communities for social change.
