SUMMARY:Black History in the Sourland Mountain Region
DESCRIPTION:Why was New Jersey known as the "Slave State of the North"? The 
 Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum (SSAAM) reveals how slavery 
 shaped local culture and how formerly enslaved people survived and thrived 
 after emancipation. Hear untold stories of African Americans in the 
 Sourlands and why sharing this history matters today.\n\nThe Sourland 
 Mountain has a rich but overlooked Black history shaped by slavery\, 
 freedom\, and resilience\, evidenced by historic sites like the Stoutsburg 
 Cemetery and the Mt. Zion AME Church. This history is being preserved by 
 the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum (SSAAM)\, which is 
 documenting the lives of formerly enslaved people\, free Black 
 communities\, and veterans who lived and worked in this "hardscrabble" 
 region.\n\nThis program is generously sponsored by FOHCL\, Friends of the 
 Hunterdon County Library.
