Read Aloud: “Growing Up True”
Honor the rich history of African American landowners and farmers in the Sourland Mountain region with Growing Up True, a new children’s book created in partnership with the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum with the support of NJCH grant funding.
The Montgomery Branch of the Somerset County Library System of New Jersey will host a family-friendly read-aloud, hands-on arts & crafts, and a special meet-and-greet with the book’s real-life heroine, Ms. Patricia “Patty” True Payne. Copies of Growing Up True will be available for purchase — a perfect and meaningful holiday gift.
Growing Up True, written by Ryan Jillian Kilpatrick, is a project of the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum made possible through support from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities and the Somerset County Cultural & Heritage Commission.
