Abstract:
Argues that the Black-Jewish alliance, which fought successfully for anti-discrimination laws in housing, education and employment in the 1940s-50s, was based on the principle of tests of abstract merit. In the 1960s, it became clear that these tests helped few Blacks. Contends that the policy of Affirmative Action is good for the Blacks but it threatens Jewish interests and principles. States that the alliance can be revived, not on the basis of Affirmative Action but rather on the basis of economic growth and progress amongst the Blacks.
