Combating Racism and Antisemitism Together: Shaping an Omni-American Future

We are very pleased to inform you that we have a wide variety of confirmed participants that will be joining the "Shaping an Omni-American Future" event, such as: artists like Wynton Marsalis and Itamar Borochov, scholars like Robert G. O'Meally, writers like Chloe Valdary, and celebrity chef Andrew Zimmern.

The American Sephardi Federation, the Jazz Leadership Project, and the Combat Antisemitism Movement are joining forces to fight Racism and Antisemitism with an online event featuring artists, thinkers, and musicians who will offer perspectives on a shared "Omni-American" future. The term "Omni-American" is borrowed from the writings of Albert Murray, the great 20th century Black American thinker and writer who, together with his good friend and celebrated novelist, Ralph Ellison, extolled America's pluralistic and "incontestably mulatto" culture.  By robustly critiquing racial essentialism and strongly emphasizing the power of culture instead of race, Murray and Ellison's writings strike at the root of ideologies that foster division, manipulation, and hatred, and ultimately develop into Antisemitism and Racism.
