The Path to Freedom:

Black Families in New Jersey

 

By Walter D. Greason

 

These are the brave families of New Jersey who made a difference in their
communities and across the country.

 

The struggle for black freedom and equality is a legacy that belongs to all
Americans.  In the twentieth century, this story of triumph over injustice
inspired the spread of democracy around the world.  From the villages of
Eastern Europe to the cities of Asia and Africa, people have found new hope,
strength, and courage in the ways African Americans defeated Jim Crow
segregation in the United States.  Liberty and equality required the
sacrifices of many African Americans who lived and made a difference in New
Jersey, including the Russell, Ham, and Brown families who appear in this
book.  This contemporary narrative of community uplift offers a fresh
appreciation of just how long the path to freedom is.
