An 1853 report by the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society noted that some Southern Jews had "refused to have any right of property in man, or even to have any slaves about them" and that the history of antisemitic persecution was a motivating factor for those Jews to support abolitionism.

In 2020, over 600 Jewish organizations representing the majority of American Jews signed onto a letter published in The New York Times on the anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington endorsing the Black Lives Matter movement.
