Black Voices of Cape May: A Feeling of Community

CCA’s Community History Committee jubilantly announces the publication of BLACK VOICES OF CAPE MAY; A FEELING OF COMMUNITY. The result of twenty five years of interviews and research, this book is a unique collection of memories and photographs that are a window on African American experiences in Cape May and the surrounding communities. This is the first book on this topic. Ever.

A vital part of Cape May, New Jersey's history was shaped by the vibrant voices and events of the Black community. Most think of the town only as a picturesque remainder of the prosperous white Victorian culture. Black Voices of Cape May - A Feeling of Community is a unique collection of interviews and stored away family photographs that gives us a window on African American experiences in Cape May.

Follow the families throughout the 20th century as they worked, played, and prayed. Learn how this community was built, faced segregation and discrimination, and was ultimately lost due to Cape May's gentrification.

BLACK VOICES OF CAPE MAY is available from Amazon Books.
