David Harris on the Radio

AJC Celebrates 100th Anniversary David A. Harris Executive Director, American Jewish Committee Week of May 2, 2006 David Harris delivers regular radio commentaries on the CBS radio network, which can be heard nationally just before the Osgood File on more than 400 stations. All of the commentaries are available at www.ajc.org. Click here to listen to this week's commentary. In 1906, a group of American Jews, shocked by attacks against Jews in Russia, met in New York. They created the American Jewish Committee, widely known today as AJC. They began fighting for the equal rights of Jews everywhere and, since Israel's establishment, for its right to live in peace and security. And the organization has never stopped. Our founders also understood that freedom and human dignity are everyone's business. That's why AJC defended Catholic children's right to attend parochial schools when, in the 1920s, the state of Oregon tried to prevent it...why AJC-sponsored research was cited by the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark desegregation case...why AJC rushed to help victims of hatred in the Balkans and today in Darfur. This week in Washington, political leaders from around the world join thousands of AJC members and friends to mark our first century. To help us shape the next 100 years, visit ajc.org. This is David Harris of the American Jewish Committee.
