Grantee Spotlight: Old First Historic Trust & Bloomfield Public Library

September 1, 2018

Joining host Bob Mann are Snyder Academy Program Director Elliot Dee and Cuban Voices Advisory Council member Clara Fernandez and Bloomfield Public Library Executive Director Holly Belli.

The Incubation and Action Grant program at NJCH provides funding for public humanities projects through a competitive grant process. Bloomfield Public Library received an Incubation Grant to examine the narratives that shape the LGBTQ+ experience in Bloomfield and beyond through the “Take Pride, Bloomfield!” project. Old First Historic Trust received an Action Grant to develop an oral history project that will record, preserve, and disseminate the stories of the ’59ers, the Cuban immigrants that came to Elizabeth, NJ in the aftermath of the Cuban Revolution.
