The Noyes Museum of Art of Stockton University, in partnership with the Monuments to Migration and Labor, welcomes community stakeholders for a dialogue about the Great Migration (1910-1970) where Black Americans moved to Atlantic City seeking economic opportunities in its booming tourism industry, finding jobs in hospitality, transportation, and entertainment. As they settled, they established tight-knit communities, such as the Northside, which fostered Black-owned businesses, schools, and cultural institutions. You are invited to join and contribute to a public conversation about immigrant labor, past and present, and its ongoing role in the area’s tourism industry.
