Dr. Eliza McGraw, author of "Two Covenants: Twentieth-Century Representations of Southern Jewishness" (LSU Press, 2005), will introduce the 1968 film adaptation of Carson McCullers’ book (starring Alan Arkin), focusing on the character John Singer’s Jewish identity as well as the gaps created by surveys of southern culture that rarely assess the contributions of Jews and histories of Jews in America virtually exclude those living in the South. www.washingtondcjcc.org/film
