SUMMARY:Our Journeys: 50 Years After the Fall\, a traveling exhibition - Opening Preview & Celebration
DESCRIPTION:NJCH grantee Vietnamese Boat People (VBP) is honored to present Our Journeys: 50 Years After the Fall\, a traveling exhibition debuting in New York City in September 2025 at Think!Chinatown’s Studio. \nOur Journeys is a curated multimedia experience\, inspired by the interviews and content generated by the Vietnamese Boat People podcast and programs. It is developed around the core concept that a story passed down is a gift—something given to another with intention and without obligation. For a community whose stories have often been told by others\, this exhibit centers the voices of the Vietnamese diaspora\, reclaiming the narrative through personal stories\, photographs\, multimedia displays\, and video essays. Visitors will be immersed in the resilience\, legacy\, and diversity of our community’s lived experiences. \nExhibition Preview | 2:30–4:00 PM\nThink!Chinatown Studios | 1 Pike Street\, NYC\nReception | 4:00–6:00 PM\nDCTV | 87 Lafayette Street\, NYC \nExhibition: September 7 to 28\, 2025 \nFind more information about the exhibit at https://givebutter.com/VBP_OurJourneys.

SUMMARY:Ukrainians in New Jersey: A Historical Overview
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the rich history of Ukrainians in New Jersey in this online presentation by Michael Andrec and Michael Buryk of the Ukrainian History and Education Center\, a multiple-time NJCH grantee. \nSurprisingly\, there has been a remarkable lack of secondary sources devoted specifically to the history of Ukrainian immigrants in New Jersey. The “Ukrainians in New Jersey” project by the Ukrainian History and Education Center’s archivist Michael Andrec and external researcher and writer Michael Buryk is an ongoing effort to help remedy this. It consists of an online resource that will eventually have a historical overview\, histories of communities and individual Ukrainian New Jerseyans\, and a collection of primary and secondary source materials that can be searched\, or browsed by date or geography. \nThis is free online talk\, but registration is required. \nMichael Buryk is a researcher of Ukrainian history and a well-known figure of Ukrainian descent in the United States. He is a writer\, podcaster and public speaker. He specializes in Ukrainian genealogy\, and produces his own original podcast‎‎ about Ukraine\, which is sponsored by The Ukrainian Weekly newspaper and is available on its web site. He is a resident contributor to Vilni Media\, which provides in Ukrainian and English up-to-date information\, news and analysis for local Ukrainian communities in the United States written by Ukrainian Americans. Mike retired in 2016 from a 40-year career in advertising and publishing. He holds a Master’s Degree (1975) in Russian/Soviet area studies from Hunter College\, the City University of New York. \nMichael Andrec has been the archivist at the Ukrainian History and Education Center since 2010\, where he has been responsible for preserving and making accessible hundreds of collections\, as well as exhibition curation\, digitization of audio and paper-based archives\, outreach\, and reference services. In 2022\, Michael and the UHEC received the Innovative Archives Award from the New Jersey Caucus of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference for his rapid shift from archival duties to education and advocacy after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

SUMMARY:Yogi Berra Museum Presents "Make Me Commissioner": Book Talk & Signing with Author Jane Leavy
DESCRIPTION:The Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center\, an NJCH grantee\, will present a book talk and signing with Jane Leavy\, author of the new book MAKE ME COMMISSIONER: I Know What’s Wrong With Baseball and How to Fix It.  \nJane Leavy\, baseball’s preeminent writer\, hardly recognizes the game she loves anymore.

Admission to the Museum and program are included with the purchase of a signed copy.  \nAbout The Author:\nJane Leavy is the author of New York Times bestsellers The Big Fella: Babe Ruth and the World He Created\, The Last Boy: Mickey Mantle and the End of America’s Childhood\, Sandy Koufax: A Lefty’s Legacy\, and the comic novel Squeeze Play\, which Entertainment Weekly called “the best novel ever written about baseball.” She was a staff writer at The Washington Post from 1979 to 1988\, first in the Sports section\, then writing for the Style section. She covered baseball\, tennis\, and the Olympics. She has written for The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, Sports Illustrated\, and is anthologized in The Great American Sports Page: A Century of Classic Columns and Driven to Write.\nSpace is limited\, please RSVP to reserve your spot.

SUMMARY:Camp Boardwalk: Atlantic City During World War II" opening reception
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend the opening reception of the newest exhibition at the Noyes Arts Garage of Stockton University on Saturday\, January 10 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Enjoy light refreshments and live music during this afternoon celebration. \nCurated by Dr. Patricia Chappine\, in collaboration with the Atlantic City Free Public Library\, Millville Army Air Field Museum\, Sara & Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center\, Atlantic County Historical Society\, and the National Guard Militia Museum of New Jersey. \nAbout the exhibition:\nDuring WWII\, Atlantic City\, NJ became an essential part of the war effort\, earning it the nickname “Camp Boardwalk.” The Army converted major hotels into a military training and redistribution area and established the Thomas M. England General Hospital\, a recovery and rehabilitation center for injured soldiers.  \nThe community mobilized its resources for Civilian Defense\, calling on local men and women to be air raid wardens and airplane spotters. Women volunteered for the USO and the Red Cross\, joined the military and worked as nurses. African American men and women served in the military\, worked in the defense industry and volunteered on the home front. This exhibit showcases the wartime narrative of Atlantic City\, connecting the stories of the men and women who trained\, worked\, recovered and volunteered there.

SUMMARY:Willingboro Futuro House Lecture & Exhibit Finale
DESCRIPTION:The Willingboro Public Library will host a concluding lecture to mark the finale of the exhibit on the township’s storied Futuro House on January 31\, 2026. \nThe Futuro House\, located in Mill Creek Park\, has long been an object of fascination among locals. A multi-year project spearheaded by the Willingboro Community Development Corporation has gathered information\, insights\, and recollections about the house with the help of NJCH funding. \nThe project’s findings and collections are on display at the library through January 31. A lecture by Eric Wolff of Chromium\, LLC will mark the finale of the exhibit. Wolff is an expert in “Space Age” design\, and his New Hope\, PA\, gallery and store specializes in refurbishing and selling furniture\, accessories\, and electronics in this iconic style primarily manufactured between 1965 to 1974. \nThe Willingboro Futuro House is a rare existing example of the Futuro\, a distinctive “UFO-style” manufactured home designed in the 1960s by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen. Intended to be small\, efficient\, and easily portable lodgings\, approximately 100 models were manufactured. Of those\, only a small number of intact models remain. The Willingboro Futuro is believed to be the only remaining example in New Jersey and in the greater Philadelphia area. \nSince being moved to the park in 1975\, the house has served different purposes but for a number of years has been in disrepair. The exhibit traces the history of the local building and the Futuro House concept. The project ultimately aims to find support for refurbishing this piece of local history. \nPlease RSVP via email to thewcdc@gmail.com
