Jewish Community Relations Council, Minnesota and the Dakotas

Description

This folder contains materials related to African Americans and Civil Rights created/collected by the Jewish Community Relations Council. The organization now known as the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas first took shape in 1938 as the Anti-Defamation Council of Minnesota, soon renamed the Minnesota Jewish Council under the leadership of Samuel Scheiner. Scheiner reviewed reports of anti-Semitic incidents, fighting against hate-filled leaflets and anti-Jewish remarks. By 1947 Minneapolis mayor Hubert H. Humphrey ordered an assessment of ""intergroup relations"" led by a collaboration of the NAACP, League of Women Voters, and the Minnesota Jewish Council, and by 1952 overt anti-Semitic acts were on the decline. In 1959 the group changed its name to the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota (JCRC). When Samuel Scheiner retired in 1974, new director Morton Ryweck ushered in a new era, merging with the local B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League to form the JCRC/ADL, though the JCRC is not connected to the ADL as of 2013. An organization dedicated to promoting tolerance and social justice, the JCRC has had long standing commitments with African American Civil Rights issues and Jewish-Black relations, as detailed in this folder.
