Black Voices of Cape May: A Feeling of Community Paperback – November 1, 2022
The vibrant voices and events of the Black community shaped a vital part of Cape May, New Jersey's history. Most think of the town only as a picturesque remainder of the prosperous white Victorian culture. Black Voices of Cape May - A Feeling of Community is a unique collection of interviews and stored-away family photographs that gives us a window into African American experiences in Cape May.
Follow the families throughout the 20th century as they worked, played, and prayed. Learn how this community was built, faced segregation and discrimination, and was ultimately lost due to Cape May's gentrification.
The Center for Community Arts recently received The New Jersey Historical Commission Award of Recognition for the publication of “Black Voices of Cape May/A Feeling of Community.” The award recognizes contributions to and the preservation of New Jersey History.
