Commemorating South Jersey’s Black Migrant Farmworkers

This dialogue explores the histories of Black laborers at Seabrook Farms, and the communities that migrant farmworkers – who came to New Jersey from the US South – formed. Participants will have the chance to learn about the history of seasonal farmworker migrations to New Jersey, past and present, life in Orchard Center, which began as a seasonal labor camp, and about the racial divisions of labor and housing that defined Seabrook Farms as a company town. Together, stakeholders will create art responses to delve deeper into these stories.
