- I don't think Blacks can achieve the goals that they can achieve, and I don't think Jews can achieve the goals without a multiracial coalition.

(upbeat music) - The Brothers was a Black male civil rights group.

We picketed and demonstrated and made people aware what was going on in the community.

- In the 60s, the North was being just as discriminating as the South, but not as overt.

We were denied access to jobs, denied access to housing.

I felt as if we weren't given any respect.

So we decided to form a group.

We got help from people from all quarters of society.

I was introduced to Peter as someone who wanted to work on helping develop a newspaper, a voice for The Brothers.

He worked as a volunteer in Georgia, so he came with solid credentials.

And this rare, rare individual realized that he had, he was privileged, even though he was Jewish, he still was privileged in a white society.

- Peter was considered one of The Brothers because the work that he was doing for The Brothers.

He knew editing and he knew newspapers, and we didn't.

The goal of the Liberator was to put it out there so people could see what was going on in the community, and they'd be aware of what was happening, you know.

- We would spend four or five hours cutting and pasting till two, three o'clock in the morning, and you had in-depth political discussions, as you can imagine.

They changed my life and my view.

Peter was special, man.

He was one of my best friends of all times.
