  • Voices of African American Princeton
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction “The North’s Most Southern Town” I The time is the twentieth century and the place is the center of the borough of Princeton, New Jersey, where white church spires and flowering, tree- lined streets reflect the aura of the world- renowned Princeton University, well known for a steady stream of Nobel Prizes and accolades for its illustri- ous professors, graduates, and alumni. Every year, thousands of visitors from around the world walk the hallowed grounds where famous predecessors have tread, not only at Princeton University but also at the nearby Insti- tute for Advanced Study, Princeton Theological Seminary, and Westminster Choir College. Unknown to most of those visitors, as well as to most university students and local white residents, is the existence of an active, yet historic African American community in the very heart of Princeton, only a few minutes’ walk from the university. This book, I Hear My People Singing: Voices of African American Princeton, gives testimony to the firsthand experiences of individuals who built a close- knit and vibrant community within a segregated Northern Jim Crow town, where “the doctrine of white supremacy was held almost as tenaciously above the Mason- Dixon Line as below it.”1 This neighborhood took shape in the 1700s across the road from what would become Nassau Street and Princeton University’s Nassau Hall. Origi- nally established by the Presbyterian Church as the “College of New Jersey” in 1746 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and permanently situated in Princeton in For general queries, contact [email protected] © Copyright, Princeton University Press.

  • Cemetery Established 1757 OPEN DAILY DAWN to DUSK 29 Greenview Avenue Telephone: (609) 924-1369 Princeton, NJ 08542-3316
    Cemetery Established 1757 OPEN DAILY DAWN TO DUSK 29 Greenview Avenue Telephone: (609) 924-1369 Princeton, NJ 08542-3316 www.princetoncemetery.org Established in 1757, the Princeton Cemetery is owned by Nassau Presbyterian Church and is located near the center of town. It is still an active cemetery and welcomes inquiries for the purchase of lots, burials, or cremations. The inclusive, non-denominational character of the cemetery continues, and interment has never been restricted to church members and their families. Scattered throughout the cemetery are the graves of soldiers, professors, politicians, musicians, scientists, business executives, and writers, as well as those who have called the Princeton area home. Take your time and enjoy the rich history of America captured here, and a small town’s place in that history. The development of the cemetery is deeply rooted in the church, the University, and the larger local community originally settled as Stony Brook in 1681, renamed Princeton in 1724, and incorporated by the state in 1813. The oldest part, formerly known as the Old Graveyard, lies at the intersection of Wiggins and Witherspoon streets. Here one can see some of the earliest European family Princeton Theological Seminary Plot names in the area: Bayard, Berrien, Leonard, Mershon, Skillman, Stockton, and Terhune. This original one-acre parcel of land had been acquired by the College of New Jersey, now Princeton University, in 1757 from Judge Thomas Leonard, a member of the Provincial Council, a year after the College with its seventy students had been moved from Newark to Princeton upon completion of Nassau Hall, still the University's main building.

  • Princeton Age-Friendly Community Action Plan
    Princeton Age-friendly Community Action Plan Princeton, NJ June 7, 2016 MUNICIPALITY OF PRINCETON Office of the Mayor Mayor Liz Lempert 400 Witherspoon Street Princeton, NJ 08540 May 9, 2016 As the first town in New Jersey designated as an Age Friendly Community by the World Health Organization, Princeton prides itself on being a great place to live, work, learn, play, raise a family, and grow old. Conducting this self-study has helped us catalog existing initiatives that contribute to the quality of life for Princeton’s seniors, such as the Crosstown transportation service, the multitude of offerings at the Public Library and Senior Resource Center, meaningful volunteer opportunities, and active neighborhood associations. Princeton’s older adults tend to be deeply engaged in civic life and active in the community. An especially illuminating part of this study involved consulting with focus groups. These groups, comprised of community members, helped identify areas that need improvement in providing support to senior residents as they age, especially as they face limitations in mobility. One recurring theme: many aging residents are concerned that they cannot afford to stay in our community. The report sheds light on the most pressing issues impacting our older residents and outlines an action plan to ensure that we are addressing the most crucial needs. Some of the work has already begun. This report would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of the members of the Age Friendly Task Force. I especially want to thank Susan Hoskins for leading the charge and for all those who have and will endeavor to make Princeton an outstanding community for all generations.
