The SPILL THE HONEY non-profit takes its name from the inspirational story of Eli Ayalon, a Holocaust survivor, who was gifted a cup of honey from his mother the final day she would see him before being sent by the Nazis to five (5) concentration camps. The honey symbolized hope and survival. He came to understand the power of using his voice and telling his story to inspire others to not remain silent in the face of hate and dehumanization. Likewise, Dr. King used his voice and strength to love, transform and mobilize America's consciousness to recognize our shared humanity.
The SPILL THE HONEY organization's goal is to enable EVERYONE to spread dignity, goodness, and kindness. The sweetness of honey should spill over, connecting people of ALL faiths and races. Our film "Shared Legacies" shows the incredible importance of the shared history and strengths that flow from the Black-Jewish Alliance. We work on educational initiatives with activists from across the globe to bring awareness of past and present so that we can defeat the illnesses of antisemitism and racism.
Special Guest: Dr. Benjamin Chavis, former NAACP Executive Director.
