The African American Heritage

Museum of Southern New Jersey

presents their traveling exhibit

A Time for Change:

Civil Rights in New Jersey

It was the tumultuous ’60s, a decade of upheaval, when New Jersey played an important part in the struggle for African American equality. Its citizens fought for racial justice and against segregation in the South, marched on Washington with Martin Luther King Jr., stood up for voting rights during the 1964 Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City and hosted the first Miss Black America pageant. Using words, images and rare film footage, “A Time for Change” tells the compelling story of an era that redefined a nation.

AAHMSNJ Founder & President Ralph E. Hunter, Sr. will be here to talk about the exhibit and answer questions.

Local author Loretta Thompson Harris will present a book signing of her book, The Westside - Ocean City in True Color

at 2:00pm. 

These programs will be held in the Ocean City Community Center Atrium.
