Many people are familiar with the story of

Jewish support for the American civil rights movement, but this

history has another side- one that has not been fully told

until now.

Outlines a compelling image of

relations between the two communities…. In Shared Dreams, Rabbi

Schneier reiterates our commonality, as upheld by Martin Luther

King, Jr., and fuels the reader to continue to work for the

advancement of race relations among all God’s

children.
-from the Preface by Martin Luther King III

Shared Dreams brings

to life the impressive, surprising, and long-neglected history

of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.‘s efforts in support of

the Jewish community. This is a story that sheds new light on

the commitment and the relationship between the Jewish and

African-American communities as they have struggled together to

fight for justice and civil rights in our nation, and our

lives.
