CCA Wins Award for Black Voices of Cape May/A Feeling of Community Book

CCA’s multi-award-winning community history program was recently cited by the New Jersey Historical Commission for an Award of Recognition for our publication of “Black Voices of Cape May/A Feeling of Community.”  The award recognizes contributions to and the preservation of New Jersey History. In 2021, CCA was given a Champion of Diversity award jointly by the Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey and the African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey (one of three made to Southern New Jersey organizations) and received a Library Champion award from the New Jersey Library Association for our work in saving and restoring the Franklin Street School, and its repurposing as a branch of the Cape May County Library.
