NJ Orators Oral History Showcase

August 10, 2023 @ 7:00 pm

New Jersey Orators presents Remembering Their Legacy: An Oral History of Our Seniorsa showcase of student Orators’ interviews with Middlesex and Union County senior citizens in their 90s (and older), who experienced the Civil Rights Era.

Remembering Their Legacy, funded by a grant from NJCH and the New Jersey Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission, records for posterity our local seniors’ recollections of the Civil Rights and the Voting Rights movements, and offers a blueprint for future generations.

Join NJ Orators at Piscataway Public Library for an intergenerational Town Hall discussion of the history of Civil and Voting Rights, highlighting how far we’ve come and how far we’ve yet to go.

This showcase is co-hosted by the Piscataway African American Senior Citizens Club and the Piscataway Township School District.

Light refreshments will be served.
