The Price of Silence | March 8, 2023
Join us for a two-part PBS documentary screening of The Price is Silence.
"New Jersey is known as the Garden State. We're known for our blueberries. We're known for our corn. We're known for our peaches. But we're not known for the slaves that were here tilling the soil. We're not known for the whole history of slavery connected to New Jersey and how slavery was the underpinning of much of the wealth of New Jersey"
- Beverly Mills, Author
