Black Voices of Cape May; A Feeling of Community

The Center for Community Arts will present a session describing our upcoming book, Black Voices of Cape May; A Feeling of Community at this annual workshop sponsored by Stockton University's Continuing Studies department.

CCA's Community History Project committee has been interviewing Cape May area African American residents for 25 years, and their collection of these oral histories forms the content of the book. Our workshop will describe the processes of interviewing, editing and producing, and members of the committee will talk about what we've learned and how these studies relate to the conference theme of "Migration and Movement".

Presenters are Rachel Dolhanczyk, CCA's Director of Community History Projects, and Yvonne Wright Gary and Hope Gaines, original members of the History Committee.
