Black Voices of Cape May/A Feeling of Community.
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.

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.
