This is an uniquely American story.  A story that culminates 10 years of research and reflection.  The 200 year relationship between our extended Jewish and Christian family of color formed a basis for America’s bold and 'lively experiment,' different cultures joining with a shared dream of religious and ethnic tolerance, leading them to success and equality.

Eyes of Glory  follows the various generations of our multi-ethnic family; we see them as active participants in key events in our nation’s history.  We also see an uncommon commitment to preserving the family system despite the racial, religious and cultural injustices that engulfed early America.  It is our hope that viewing this web site inspires people to better understand the important contribution ethnic Americans have made in shaping our great country.
