The following 32 sites have been selected for the Black Heritage Trail in this inaugural nomination round.
Markers will be placed at sites across New Jersey with 15 counties receiving at least one marker during this initial round. The markers will not only be geographically diverse, but also thematically and temporally.
Continuing the work of the NJHC African American History Program, the markers will feature QR codes that will lead visitors to more information about the site, offerings from the NJHC, such as special events and augmented reality, and programming from the sites themselves.
Sites that were not selected will have the opportunity to work with the Black Heritage Trail team to strengthen their nominations and resubmit.
