WEB RESOURCE This video from the PBS series The Story of the Jews explores Jewish life under Russian rule at the turn of the 20th Century by analyzing photographs of shtetl life taken by a group of Jewish ethnographers. When Jews in the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom came under Russian rule, they were expelled to the Pale of Settlement that stretched from the Baltic to the Black Sea.

Black Faith and the Black Radical Tradition
https://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/posts/black-faith-and-the-black-radical-tradition

WEB RESOURCE Much of Black-led activism today issues a radical challenge to liberal democracy. Consider, for example, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, which has called for de-funding the police, or the Nap Ministry, which advocates for rest as a form of resistance to capitalism. Both of these movements not only call for a radical rethinking of the political status quo, but also can be said to exemplify the ways in which Black radical thought is shaped by ethical and religious principles. This is part of the Berkeley Formum at Georgetown University.
