New Jersey Black Heritage Trail Virtual Community Meeting - June 2023

The New Jersey Historical Commission held its first, virtual New Jersey Black Heritage Trail Community Meeting on Tuesday, June 27th, 2023.
Following the signing of the historic bill for the creation of the Black Heritage Trail program in New Jersey by Governor Phil Murphy in September 2022, the New Jersey Historical Commission hosted three community input meetings to receive various perspectives and visions for the framework and implementation of the program. Two of the meetings were held in-person in North and Central New Jersey: one hosted by The Newark Museum of Art in Newark on Saturday, June 3rd, and the other by Thomas Edison State University in Trenton on Thursday, June 22nd. The third community meeting was held virtually on Tuesday, June 27th.
We received input from New Jersey residents and organizations which will feed into the success and responsiveness of the program. We will continue to seek feedback through collaborations and partnerships from community-based organizations, private and public entities, and interested individuals.
