The Hopewell branch of the Mercer County Library System plans to host Donnetta Bishop Johnson as she shares a look at farming and land ownership traditions of the African-American community in the Sourlands.
The virtual-only event is set to take place online on Wednesday, Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. Registration is required to get the link to the GoToMeeting presentation.
Bishop-Johnson is the former executive director of the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum in Skillman, described as “Central New Jersey’s first dedicated Black history museum.”
Informed by her work with SSAAM, she will discuss the African-American relationship to environmentalism and property conflict, including loss, across America and in the Sourlands.
