RISING UP AGAINST RACISM—
BACK AT 1964'S SUMMER OF DECISION
A Gloucester County Historical
Society's Commemoration of a Historic Year in America's Civil
Rights Struggle
In
collaboration with the New Jersey Department of State Martin Luther
King, Jr. Commemorative Commission, the Gloucester County Historical
Society is sponsoring the "Rising Up Against Racism - Looking Back
at 1964's Summer of Decision" program marking the 60th Anniversary
of the tumultuous year that was a turning point in the country's civil
rights struggle. Admission is free.
The
October 8th, 6:30-8:30 pm, program in the Mount Calvary Baptist Church in
Mullica Hill, NJ, will feature African American scholars and civil
rights activists, including Rowan University’s Dr. Lourin Plant;
Gloucester County NAACP President Ms. Loretta Winters; and independent

Freedom Summer that brought students to Mississippi to set up Freedom
Schools and help with voter registration; focus on Gloucester County
with the life and legacy of Irene Hill-Smith, who marched, protested,
and boycotted in downtown Woodbury; and look back at how it impacted
urban Camden, leading to the rise of Charles "Poppy" Sharp's

Tuesday,
September 24 -- Union County WILLIAM
T. FIDURSKI PRESENTS “SLAVERY & THE REV WAR COMES TO
OAK RIDGE” Homestead Farm at Oak Ridge Did you know that the Homestead Farm at Oak Ridge historic site
probably includes the remains of slave quarters? And that there
has also been an identified slave burial site across Oak Ridge Road in
Edison? Most people do not know. (This Homestead Farm is commonly
known as the former Oak Ridge Golf Pro Shop.)
Centuries earlier at this Historic Homestead at Oak Ridge, then known
as the Smith Farm in the area then known as Ash Swamp, in December
1776 the Hessians literally left William Smith bleeding on the
floor. Mr. Smith shot the Hessian officer who was “ravishing” his
daughter Isabel. Other Hessians came in and shot William Smith, leaving
him bleeding on the floor, expecting him to die. Did he?
Come to the opening meeting of the Historical Society of Scotch Plains
and Fanwood on Tuesday evening, September 24th, to find out the answer
to this question and to hear the latest details of the slave burial
quarters and grounds from Historian William Fidurski. His program will
include slides of Oak Ridge and copies of the Smith family & other
important information.
Fidurski wrote the application to put the Homestead Farm at Oak Ridge
on the State and National Registries. He effectively argued that
the entire 208-acres as well as the Homestead and its dwellings be
included. And it was: on October 25, 1995 it was approved and
placed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
Biologist and historian Fidurski, a graduate of Rutgers University,
completed additional studies at Columbia University and Cornell
University and the U of Wisconsin at Madison. During the Vietnam War,
he served in the civilian military. He spent two decades as the
Senior Investigator for the Federal Drug Agency before
retiring. During that time he again wrote an important document on
NJ’s Natural areas. Fidurski specializes in the early history of
the Stars and Stripes and the New Jersey campaign of 1777. He has been
involved in historic preservation efforts such as Bass Farmstead in
Hardwick Township, Mount Farm in West Windsor and the Victorian row
houses along Essex Street in the Paulus Hook Historic District in
Jersey City. Now he is currently investigating the role of the
abolitionist movement and the Underground Railroad in Central NJ as
well as being deeply involved in preserving the Homestead Farm at Oak
Ridge.
The Historical Society of Scotch Plains and Fanwood is thrilled to have
Bill Fidurski as the opening speaker for the Historical Society of
Scotch Plains and Fanwood at our upcoming meeting on Tuesday, September 24th. Come to this free, open to the public, meeting
to learn about the history of the Homestead Farm at Oak Ridge, more
recently known in this area as the Oak Ridge Golf House. Learn
about the present needs for preserving not only the Homestead but the
slave quarters and burial site. The meeting begins at 7:30 PM
and is held at the historic Shady Rest Golf & Country Club,
820 Jerusalem Road (at the corner of Plainfield Avenue) in Scotch
Plains. Refreshments and fellowship follow the
presentation. For further information, contact Connie Klock at
908-337-7735.

Thursday,
September 26 -- Burlington County
On
Thursday, September 26th, from 4pm to 6pm outside
the City of Bordentown’s Administration building, at Point Breeze
– 101 Park Street, we will celebrate Lafayette and show off a
beautiful marker that commemorates General Lafayette’s visit to Point
Breeze, on September 26th, 1824, exactly 200 years ago
to the day! The marker was donated to the BHS by The Lafayette Trail,
Inc., and will formally be dedicated at a later date.
We are
fortunate to have with us for the ceremony Paul Larson, Chair, New
Jersey Lafayette Bicentennial Committee, American Friends of Lafayette;
Author John Becica; Michael Halbert, celebrated Lafayette re-enactor
who will appear as the General was in 1824. Paul will give some
welcoming remarks about the American Friends of Lafayette and the
Bicentennial of Lafayette’s Farewell Tour, John will speak
about Who was Lafayette, and Why is He Important to Americans, a
brief mention of The Lafayette Trail, and his book, Trail Tales,
and Lafayette (portrayed by Michael) will talk about his experiences on
the Farewell Tour, specifically his visit with Joseph Bonaparte.
This honor
and celebration of General Lafayette (also known to many Americans as
the Marquis de Lafayette) from the BHS and City of Bordentown is long
overdue. Lafayette’s contribution to the independence of our Country
was unique, especially given his status in French Society at that time.
If you want to honor and learn more about this incredible man, please
join us.
After the
ceremony at Point Breeze, we invite you to join Lafayette and enjoy the
exhibit on Joseph Bonaparte at the BHS’ Friends Meeting House located
at 302 Farnsworth Ave. in Bordentown.

Sunday,
September 29 -- Morris County
Restored Replica Cannon Stands Proudly at the Front Line
of Local Revolutionary History
Restoration of a replica
Revolutionary War cannon marks the unofficial kickoff for local 250th
celebrations on Sunday, Sept. 29, at 11 a.m. For nearly two decades,
the cannon that rests on an island in front of Acorn Hall between
Morris and Lafayette avenues has reminded the thousands of daily
passers-by of the unique and rich Revolutionary history of Morristown.
Host to the twice-encamped forces of General George Washington, our
local community boasts nationally-significant places like the Ford
Mansion, Fort Nonsense, and Jockey Hollow that illustrate to hundreds
of thousands of visitors each year how critical Morristown was in our
fight for independence.
Placed
in the early 2000s by the non-profit Greater Morristown Historic
Foundation to bring awareness of local Revolutionary History, the
cannon’s wood wheels and frame finally succumbed to their years in the
elements. While the Greater Morristown Historic Foundation was founded
by longtime philanthropist Richard “Dick” Deskovick of Morris Township,
the group disbanded after several significant contributions to our
community, including the fountain on Morristown Green and Robert St.
Croix sculpted Patriots’ Farewell. In 2023, a concerned group of
citizens joined together to not only restore the cannon, but bring
further awareness to the history it represents and the notable
philanthropy and spirit of our local citizenry, past and present. Ryan
Dawson, who led the fundraising efforts said, “the cannon’s condition
was brought to my attention by Jennifer Wehring of the Morristown
Partnership. She and I knew the community would step in and help once
someone took ownership of the project. Between members of the community
and some civic organizations we managed to raise the necessary funds to
bring the cannon back to life. This was a group effort, and I was
confident the residents of Morristown would rise to the occasion.”
The
community is invited to join local leadership, donors, neighbors, and
Dick Deskovick as we cut the ribbon on this important project, one of
the first to usher in what promises to be a memorable “year of
celebration” in 2026 and then head to downtown Morristown for Festival
on the Green and an afternoon of food and fun. For more information,
contact the Morristown Partnership, (973) 455-1133, or Morris County
Historical Society, (973) 267-3465.
