Phyllis Leffler will speak on the topic "Privilege or Prejudice?: Charlottesville's Jews, Anti-Semitism and White Supremacy." The talk will be held as part of the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society's new series called First Fridays, held on the third Friday of every month. The focus is both historical and contemporary, exploring the experience of Jews in Charlottesville over time. This talk is based in part on her recently published essay in Southern Jewish History.
