The Jewish Studies Program will host “Jews Not Admitted: Anti-Semitism, Civil Rights, and Public Accommodation Laws,” with Britt Tevis (University of Pennsylvania). Tevis provides new frameworks for thinking about the exclusion of American Jews from public accommodations, such as hotels, in the 19th and 20th centuries. She considers the civil rights and legal implications both of exclusion and Jewish resistance to it, in addition to drawing parallels to the similar struggles of other minority groups in America seeking equal access to public accommodations.
