The CEO of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Johnathan Greenblatt came through to The Breakfast Club to help all understand the viewpoints of the Jewish Community. This organization began in the early 1900’s once a Jewish man was lynched due to his religious affiliation. " ADL is founded with the clear understanding that the fight against one form of prejudice cannot succeed without battling prejudice in all forms.” -ADL. The ADL is not limited to the protecting the Jewish Community but also the LGBTQA, Black Communities, and any community that experience any form of prejudice.
