  • Why It Matters
    Oct 28 2024
    This final episode examines the enduring impact of the 1964 civil rights protests in St. Augustine. Has this city significantly improved, or was all that happened there, including the participation of the rabbis, no more than a historic footnote? We also explore whether what occurred the day the rabbis were arrested had surprising national significance. Did it actually affect the passage of the monumental 1964 Civil Rights Act? Lastly, we see how our veterans of the civil rights protest from 60 years ago stand up for civil rights today.

  • Among the Jews of St. Augustine
    Oct 21 2024
    Those with deep familial roots in St. Augustine’s Jewish community recount their experiences growing up in a city marked by racial tension, anti-Semitism, and KKK activity. They recall Jewish relations with the Black community, and what they were doing when outsider rabbis arrived to protest their city’s segregation laws. For a small, vulnerable religious minority, was the civil rights movement coming to St. Augustine a positive or a divisive development? ---------- CREDITS: The Rabbis Go South was made possible through grants from Combined Jewish Philanthropies, the Southern Jewish Historical Society, and generous private donors including Louis Black (founder of South by Southwest) and Joyce Saltman.

  • The Incarceration
    Oct 14 2024
    16 rabbis and one Jewish layperson are arraigned in the county jail by the local KKK leader and then squeezed together in a cell big enough for only two. During an uncomfortable night of imprisonment, the rabbis find an important mission.They write a joint manifesto, “Why We Went,” articulating their philosophical and religious reasons for coming to St. Augustine. Meanwhile, the African-Americans arrested with them are treated by law enforcement in the harshest, cruelest manner. ---------- CREDITS: The Rabbis Go South was made possible through grants from Combined Jewish Philanthropies, the Southern Jewish Historical Society, and generous private donors including Louis Black (founder of South by Southwest) and Joyce Saltman.
