Copyright 1928 The Society of Colonial Wars in the Stci tc of New Jersey Press oj Innes & Sons Philadelphia PREFACE N the foreword of "The First Americans" the Editors say, "The beginning of the thirteen English Colonies, so big I with destiny, have stirred the reverent curiosity of Ameri' can historians generation after generation." It is one of the ob' jects of the Society of Colonial Wars to promote an interest in and knowledge of Colonial history, not only by historians but by the ordinary man who professes that he has no time to devote to things that are past. In this day when distance is made unimportant by the motor vehicle, and we can in a day cover a mileage, which would have taken many days in Colonial times, there is no excuse for unfamiliarity or lack of knowledge of the historic spots in one's own State. When the State is one with a his- tory so fascinating and so closely connected with our National history, there is even less excuse for ignorance.

Ithad just seventy students, reduced from a recent one hundred twenty. Princeton had about reached its "Nadir"1 under his predecessor, Ashbel Green. This was the period of "secularization" in the colleges along the eastern seaboard. There were many problems of transition to be met and Princeton was slow to meet them.— There were rebellions and serious rioting among the students, discipline and dismissals from the administration. The decline in numbers had become constant and could not be stemmed quickly. It was partly accounted for by the founding of colleges in the south but this "could not explain why at the opening of the academic year, coach after coach rolled through Princeton laden with youths from Virginia, South Carolina or Georgia, on their way to Yale or Harvard/' 2 The University of Virginia had opened with attractive breadth and leniency. Ashbel Green had been called to the presidency in 1812, to re- form the College of New Jersey and to withstand the modern tend- ency towards secularization. He had been launched auspiciously on his lifework, as Baccalaureate speaker of the class of 1783, with the awe-inspiring privilege of praising General Washington, present in the audience, as the Continental Congress was meeting in Nassau Hall.3 Green was a good man and a revered minister but he tried to hold the college to the customs of the great days of John Wither- spoon and failed to meet the challenge of his own decade.

  • 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.
