photo of Dr. George Kaufman, Queens CORE chairman

This is a photo of Queens CORE chairman Dr. George Kaufman. He married Elayne Jones (also a Queens CORE member) and lived in St. Albans. His "Orthodox Jewish parents sat shivah -- the traditional seven-day mourning ritual -- when they learned their son was marrying a black woman". Such stories are not uncommon for the Jewish members of CORE.
