The Preserving Black Haddonfield History Project
May 5 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Our speakers will be: C. Adrienne Rhodes, Co-Founder and Executive Editor of PRESERVE: Narratives from Historic Haddonfield’s African-American Community; and Dr. Dyann Waugh, featured in the inaugural PRESERVE edition. She previously attended Haddonfield Meeting.
Worship is 10-11 AM, and the program will start about 11:15 AM.
This project was created to educate the general population and celebrate the African-American community that once thrived in Haddonfield, this project has created a walking tour and online map with information about churches, schools, businesses, and homes. Many of these historic sites were located on or near Ellis Street, as well as Lincoln, Douglass, and E. Park Avenues. The Project’s website (accessed via the Haddonfield Library) includes oral histories from elders in the community and a docu-series. Historical markers will be placed along the tour route.
