The Journeys of Six, Incredible Jewish Americans, From Connie Chung to Anthony Mordechai Tzvi Russell
Since 2006, May has officially been Jewish American Heritage Month, proclaimed, believe it or not, by then President George W. Bush. Much like Black History Month and Women’s History Month, it serves as a dedication to the achievements and contributions of Jewish Americans to their country, with events scheduled across the country.
The theme of the 2016 Jewish American History Month is “An American Journey,” recalls, at least for me, histories of immigration and an appreciation for diversity, both of which are integral to any celebration of American Jewry. And so, here are six Jews of Color with unique American journeys of their own.
