Freedom Seder Revisited

Wednesday, April 5, 2017
CENTER CITY (WPVI) -- Passover doesn't start until Monday, but Wednesday night, the National Museum of American Jewish History held a seder that was inspired by a similar event nearly 50 years ago.

The event is called Freedom Seder Revisited, and it recalls the original Freedom Seder that took place in Washington, D.C. in 1969.

That night, hundreds of people of all backgrounds gathered in a church basement to reflect on the civil rights movement.

This is the fifth year for this event.
