American Jewish Committee

=== The 1950s ===
AJC took the position that prejudice was indivisible, and that the rights of Jews in the United States could be best protected by arguing in favor of the equality of all Americans. AJC supported social science research into the causes of and cures for prejudice, and forged alliances with other ethnic, racial and religious groups.{{Citation needed|date=October 2015|reason=for this para. up to here}} The organization's research was cited in the 1954 [[Supreme Court of the United States|U.S. Supreme Court]] decision in ''[[Brown v. Board of Education]]'' that outlawed segregated schools.<ref>{{Cite web |date=June 5, 2023 |title=BRIEF AMICI CURIAE OF [HE AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE; |url=http://blackfreedom.proquest.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/grutter55.pdf |access-date=June 5, 2023 |website=Proquest}}</ref>

In 1950 AJC President Jacob Blaustein reached an agreement with Israeli Prime Minister [[David Ben-Gurion]] stating that the political allegiance of American Jews was solely to their country of residence. By the Six-Day War of 1967 AJC had become a passionate defender of the Jewish state, shedding old inhibitions to espouse the centrality of [[Jewish peoplehood]].
