New Jersey, with one of the most diverse populations in the country, has long been the site of the movement of people-whether they moved voluntarily out of need or want, were forced or coerced to move, or found borders moving around them.
The 2022 annual conference comes during an eventful year that witnessed legislation enacted that established the state’s Black Heritage Trail and made New Jersey the second state to make Asian American Studies a standard part of its K-12 curriculum.
The moderator for Immigrants, Labor and Justice 300 Years of Struggle in NJ was Dr. Marc Lorenc. The panelists included: Bernadette Rogoff, Mark Nonestied, Samuel Stephens and Dr. Lynne Calamia.
The New Jersey History Conference is a project of the New Jersey Historical Commission. Although overseen by the conference planning committee, views expressed in all recorded sessions are those of the speakers, and they are responsible for the accuracy of their scholarship.
