NJ Black Heritage Trail meetings
The New Jersey Historical Commission (NJHC) invites residents to share their thoughts about establishing a Black Heritage Trail “to promote awareness and appreciation of Black history, heritage, and culture” that will “highlight Black heritage sites through historical markers and a trail-like path that connects the stories of Black life and resiliency.”
Community members can share their thoughts at upcoming community meetings: in person at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 3, at the Newark Museum of Art (Newark, NJ), and 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 22, at Thomas Edison State University (Trenton, NJ). A third, virtual meeting will be held at a time and date to be determined.For more information, contact Noelle Williams, director, African American History Program, at Noelle.Williams@sos.nj.gov.
