Best Answer

Many Jews in America were sympathetic to the African-American issues with segregation, seeing the Jim Crow laws as a parallel to the legal discrimination and persecution in European history. As a result, a number of key Jewish leaders and many Jewish laymen supported the African-American movement for civil rights. Most famously, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel marched right next to Dr. King in Selma, Alabama. After Dr. King's death, the African-American community became increasingly suspicious of the Jewish community, especially as the Nation of Islam (and its Anti-Semitic views) was becoming more prominent, leading to a fracturing of the African-American-Jewish-American Alliance.
