On Monday, November 14, ADL and our community partners, supporters, and civic leaders gathered to celebrate the 28th ADL In Concert Against Hate. We were thrilled to return to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for an in-person program with nearly 2,000 guests and a star-studded cast of hosts and performers.
The Concert honored incredible, everyday heroes who have used their voices to speak out against hate, antisemitism, homophobia, and bigotry in their communities. Their stories were bright spots in the evening, and demonstrated that any one person can make a difference in the fight against hate.
We want to thank our incredible supporters who helped to make the event possible and our amazing volunteer leaders involved in putting together such a meaningful night full of hope.

The 2018 film Hebrews to Negroes, based on director Ronald Dalton Jr.’s book series of the same name, is a three-plus-hour effort to “prove” the Black Hebrew Israelite (BHI) belief that certain people of color, including Black Americans, are the true descendants of the biblical Israelites. The film promotes beliefs commonly found among antisemitic and extremist factions of the BHI movement, including claims that modern Jews are imposters who stole the religious heritage of Black people and have engaged in a “cover-up” to prevent Black people from knowing their “true” identity. | |
