Jefferson Freedom Café in Fort Worth will present a rare screening of Blacks And Jews. The 2005 documentary chronicles the death-defying career of iconoclastic writer-guitarist Josh Alan. He was the only journalist to cover Times Square during the era of Sodom and Gomorrah; writer-half of the Friedman Bros, once New York’s most feared cartooning team; and became an atomic acoustic blues guitarist in Texas. The doc’s “second-act” concerns Josh’s childhood as the only white kid in an all-black, dirt-poor segregated school on Long Island in the 60s. All strange but true.

At movie’s end, the lights go up on Josh Alan live.

Jefferson Freedom Café, Sat. Sept.
20th, 7:30pm
1959 Sandy Lane
Fort Worth, Texas 76112
817-424-2727
