In these sensitive times, when improving diversity, equity, and inclusion are priorities throughout the nation,

THE PRESERVING BLACK HADDONFIELD HISTORY PROJECT not only celebrates once overlooked residents; it also educates students, teachers, and everyone whose path it crosses.  

Ultimately, this multi-dimensional celebration and education program is to include: 

• PRESERVE: NARRATIVES FROM HISTORIC HADDONFIELD’S AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY* (An Anthology of Oral Histories from 10 Elders)

• PRESERVE:  THE DOCU-SERIES

• WALKING TOUR, DIGITAL MAP & WEBSITE

• HISTORIC MARKERS PROGRAM

We do more than simply recall private memories about Haddonfield’s African-American community.  We celebrate the value added here through current and past residents’ contributions, ideals, and legacy. 

*NOTE:  Developed in collaboration with HMHS Accelerated English Program students and their instructor Holly Maiese.  Visual/digital aspects were developed in association with Digital Arts Department students and their instructor Karen Bannett. C. Adrienne Rhodes was the executive editor/producer.
