Description

Help us transcribe the records of the Colored Conventions, the nineteenth century’s longest campaign for Black civil rights. Douglass Day is an annual program that marks the birth of Frederick Douglass. Each year, the Colored Conventions Project has gathered thousands of people to help create new & freely available resources for learning about Black history. Douglass Day has frequently focused on important Black women’s archives, such as Anna Julia Cooper (2020), Mary Church Terrell (2021), and plenty more to come in future years. Join us on Monday, February 14 from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. for a community transcription event to celebrate the birth of Frederick Douglass. The Noyes Museum of Art of Stockton University offers several locations in Southern New Jersey, providing access and support to the arts and artists of the region and beyond. A source of inspiration and enjoyment for enthusiasts of the arts, from residents of the community, students and faculty of the university, to visitors to the shore and Pine Barrens, the Noyes Museum serves the entire South Jersey area. In 2010, the Noyes partnership with Stockton University began as a natural extension of Stockton’s commitment to the area’s cultural scene. The Noyes Museum formally became a part of Stockton University in 2016. Home to one of the area’s top performing arts centers, Stockton has its own art gallery, a growing visual arts program, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree has been added to the courses of study. Through Communications Studies, Historical Studies, Language and Culture Studies, Literature and Philosophy, Stockton is serving the arts and humanities in southern New Jersey.    Today, The Noyes Museum maintains its founders’ dedication to preserving, highlighting, interpreting, and celebrating the arts through its dynamic locations in across South Jersey.
