HPL "Wednesday Night Out" Lecture Series -- February
/ Black History Month Presentation If These Stones Could Talk Wednesday, February 6, 7 pm - at the Hopewell Theater 5 S. Greenwood Ave., Hopewell NJ Free and open to the public Elaine Buck and Bev Mills, authors of the new book If These Stones Could Talk, continue to share stories of their journey uncovering histories of the African American community in the Hopewell Valley, Sourland Mountain, and surrounding regions of New Jersey. In her foreword for the book, Emma Lapsansky-Werner, Professor Emeritus of History at Haverford College, writes, "Elaine and Bev’s story is about both race-based pain and interracial triumph; it’s about pettiness and greed and prejudice and ignorance and exclusion. But it’s also about teamwork and mutual human concern, and about the intricacies of family life among and between White and Black Americans, stretching from the eighteenth and nineteenth century into the twenty-first century. ... Here, in a narrative that is partly memoir, partly detective story, the reader meets a fascinating parade of characters." Trustees of the Stoutsburg Cemetery Association, and co-founders of the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum (SSAAM), Beverly Mills and Elaine Buck began collaborating over a decade ago researching the lives of their African American ancestors who resided in the Sourland Mountain region and surrounding areas. After many years of research, examination of records, deeds, church records, and collection of oral histories, Mills and Buck published their book in November 2018. The Hopewell Public Library's Wednesday Night Out series is held on the first Wednesday of each month. These events are free and open to the public – no registration is required. Due to the size limitations of the library building, these talks are usually held at the Hopewell Train Station or the Hopewell Theater. |
