Black Power! 19th Century Newark Map
Newark's First African American Rebellion


Welcome
There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around and come back. We are so excited and honored to share with you this multimedia virtual exhibition of Newark's and New Jersey's courageous Black activists.
For this exhibition, we are sharing artistic re-creations performed by Newark artists, historical newspapers and photographs, new Black history scholarship by Newark scholars, and even maps for a virtual walking tour.
The Newark Public Library received a project grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a division of the Department of State for this exhibition. The artistic videos were funded by the City of Newark's Creative Catalyst Fund in partnership with Newark Arts. Please see a full list of all acknowledgments here .
A PDF of the written narrative will be made available in the summer.
Please visit the Black Power! 19th Century Exhibition for exhibition, map and virtual event updates!
Welcome and thank you again,
Noelle Lorraine Williams, Curator and Researcher
