Filmmaker Steve Channing and historian Leonard Rogoff will describe their efforts to document and present the rich social history of North Carolina’s Jewish community. Using both film and illustration, Channing and Rogoff will present the 400-year story of Jewish settlement from Roanoke Island in 1585 to the Sunbelt cities of today. Their presentation will offer an exciting preview of the Down Home project, which is creating a film, book, school curriculum, and traveling museum exhibit on the untold story of Jewish life in the Tar Heel state.
