Rethinking the History of Antisemitism in Michigan

On Monday, February 10, from 6-8 pm, the Library of Michigan will host the panel: “Rethinking the History of Antisemitism in Michigan.” Michigan has a significant history of prominent antisemitic voices, including Henry Ford, Father Charles Coughlin, and Gerald L.K. Smith. The panel features experts on these subjects—Catherine Cangany of the Jewish Historical Society of Michigan, Karla Goldman of University of Michigan, John Jackson, Jr. of Michigan State University, Andrew Lapin of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, and independent scholar Victoria Saker Woeste—who will discuss the subjects of their research, as well as the significance of historical antisemitism for Michiganders today.
