SUMMARY:NJMML - Flagship: Launch and Ribbon Cutting
DESCRIPTION:NJ Monuments to Migration and Labor will launch its “Flagship” Sailbus on Saturday\, August 1\, 2026\, from 11AM – 3PM at Brighton Park\, 124 Park Place in Atlantic City. Activities and music throughout the morning and afternoon. Ribbon cutting and formal launch\, noon to 1PM.  \n— \nJoin Monument Artist Immanuel Oni and the NJMML team for the launch of the Flagship Sailbus at Brighton Park\, on the Atlantic City boardwalk. Inspired by a year’s worth of multigenerational conversations and programs with community stakeholders in Millville\, Bridgeton\, Seabrook\, Port Norris\, Roebling\, and Atlantic City\, Flagship brings to life the stories of labor and migration that define South Jersey’s past\, and its present.  \nTo further animate the completed installation\, Oni will lead participants in art activities designed to bring to life Atlantic City’s “sites of memory\,” and to reflect on the buildings and businesses that played host to Black migrants and immigrants who arrived in Atlantic City in the early twentieth century. Oni will also work with participants to create art that recognizes Atlantic City’s dynamic\, changing population\, and the Bangladeshi\, Mexican\, and Vietnamese immigrants who have come to the city more recently. \nThis program is supported by the Atlantic County Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs.

SUMMARY:Middletown Community History: "Life in the Silk City" Lecture & NJ Jazz Musicians Concert
DESCRIPTION:As part of its work begun in NJCH’s Community History Program\, Middletown Township Public Library will present a lecture\, “Life in the Silk City: Exploring Concepts of Home and Identity Through a Student-Composed Anthem to Paterson\,” followed by The Sam Tobias Quartet performing “A Celebration of New Jersey’s Greatest Jazz Musicians.” \nDuration: 2 hours (45-minute talk\, 10-min Q&A\, 1 hour concert) \nLecture: Music educator and Jazz Program Coordinator at Paterson Music Project\, Sam Tobias\, will give a talk explaining the genesis and composition process of the song “Life in the Silk City\,” an anthem to Paterson fully composed by the students of Paterson. The talk will explore the challenges of a collective composition project that involved over a hundred students\, meaningful moments in the songwriting and recording process\, an analysis of the composition and lyrics through the lens of their relationship to students’ lived experiences in Paterson\, and a discussion of how students’ concepts of identity\, culture\, and home evolved and were expressed through the process of composing the song. The talk will be followed by a 10-minute Q&A with the audience. \nConcert: New Jersey was the birthplace and home of many of the most iconic figures in jazz history including Wayne Shorter\, Count Basie\, Sarah Vaughn\, and James Moody. Flutist and saxophonist Sam Tobias and his quartet featuring special guest vocalist Teresa Gotanco will present an exciting array of music that represents the special connection between jazz music and the Garden State. Between songs\, Sam will provide historical and biographical context and stories about the musicians/composers and how their time in New Jersey shaped their lives and the course of jazz history. \nThis event is part of the library’s Community History Project\, and was made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities\, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: The Avett Brothers' Bob Crawford on "America’s Founding Son"
DESCRIPTION:Join the New Jersey Council for the Humanities at Labyrinth Books in Princeton for a special conversation between musician\, historian\, and author Bob Crawford and Sean Wilentz\, the George Henry Davis 1886 Professor of American History at Princeton University. The discussion will center on Crawford’s new book\, America’s Founding Son: John Quincy Adams\, from President to Political Maverick. \nBest known as the bassist for the Grammy-nominated band The Avett Brothers\, Crawford brings his storytelling sensibility from the hit podcasts The Road to Now and Founding Son: John Quincy’s America to this accessible and engaging biography of John Quincy Adams\, America’s original political maverick and one of the nation’s most consequential public servants. \nSet during the turbulent decades between the Founding and the Civil War\, America’s Founding Son traces Adams’s evolution on slavery and his unlikely emergence as a champion of the antislavery cause. \nDoors will open at 3:30 p.m. General admission is free (tickets required). Admission with a reserved copy of the book is $28. \nGet your tickets now for this exciting event through Labyrinth Books! \nGet tickets

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
