Episode 157 - The Voting Rights Activist and "Sword of David" Author: A Conversation with Chuck Lichtman

<p><strong>ABOUT THIS EPISODE</strong></p> <p>Chuck Lichtman grew up on the hard-scrabble streets of Gary, Indiana, where he faced pronounced anti-Semitism that helped shaped his life path. He became a fierce advocate for civil rights - notably as the "Hanging Chads" attorney in the 2000 election, and eventually authored several books. His latest, due out in September 2021, is a thriller called "The Sword of David," and synthesizes his love of action with his passion for the Holy Land and yearning for peace in a difficult region.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">--------------------</span></p> <p><strong>ABOUT THIS PODCAST</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jews You Should Know introduces the broader community to interesting and inspiring Jewish men and women making a difference in our world.
