The students - 15 African Americans and 16 Jews - met with community activists and 1960 sit-in leaders B.B. DeLaine and J. Charles Jones; toured the Levine Museum of the New South; learned about Charlotte’s Jewish community from Temple Beth El Executive Director Sara Schreibman; and explored the Shalom Park campus. The 31 students from Washington, DC are part of Operation Understanding DC (OUDC), a decade-old education al leadership development pro gram whose mission is as simple as it is vital: “Positive race rela tions require our moving beyond tolerance to truly embracing diversity,” says Rachael Feldman, Executive Director of OUDC. Before reaching Charlotte, the students and four group leaders explored New York City and Greensboro, NC. From Charlotte, they will travel by bus to 11 cities in 4 states including Atlanta and Clayton, GA; Birmingham, Montgomery, and Selma, AL; Meridian, Jackson, and the Mississippi Delta; and Memphis. The group will return to D(5 on Sunday, July 29. Joey Blum, a 17-year-old from Bethesda, MD, was happy to join the group because his parents were involved in the civil rights movment of the 1960s. “My goal is learn more about that period of our country’s history,” he said. “How are our African- American and Jewish communi ties connected and similar?” won dered Lavon Sampson, a 16-year old from Upper Marlboro, MD. The whole trip has been eye opening for the entire group. “We visitied the mosque that Malcolm X led,” said'16-year-old Bianca Davies. The Silver Spring, MD resident said, “That was the most moving part of our trip.” Grace Tiedemann of Washington, DC was warmed by the welcome in Borough Park. “The Chasidic community was so welcoming and kind,” the 17- year-old said.
