Members Only: Screening of A Place to Become
Our documentary, A Place to Become, explores early 20th century Montclair through the eyes of eight women who attended the YWCA. They tell the stories of African American women and girls – and the role of the YWCA – in a town grappling with de facto segregation, integration, and the Civil Rights Movement. Meet in the Founder’s Room of the Crane House & Historic YWCA. Become a member today and watch the film for free!
SUNDAY, JANUARY 15 FROM 1 - 4 PM
Eyewitness to History: The African-American Experience
Explore 200 years of Black history in Montclair and New Jersey through rare first-hand accounts, primary source documents, from a bill of sale for an enslaved person in the household to Jet and Ebony magazines. These artifacts provide a springboard for discussion about race both in the past and in the present-day. Tours on the hour, last tour at 3 pm. $6/adult; $5/student/senior with ID; $4/child; under 2 free. Members get in free!
MONDAY, JANUARY 16 FROM 10 AM - 12 NOON
