On June 17 and 19, more than 60 members of the diocese plus some non-Episcopal friends attended one of the Juneteenth Pilgrimages with Bishop Hughes, visiting sites in Bergen County with a history linked to slavery. They were accompanied by Dr. Arnold Brown, a local historian. The Pilgrimage handouts, with hyperlinks to online resources, are posted here.
The video above was produced by one of the June 19 participants, Allison Brown of St. Mark's, Teaneck, for Black News & Views. Read the accompanying article here.
The photos below were taken by Nina Nicholson and the Rev. Diana Wilcox (June 17), and the Rev. Cynthia Black (June 19).
