    27th Annual Awards Dinner October 22, 2015 President’s Message Inductees, Scholarship Recipients, Family and Friends, It is with great honor that I welcome you tonight to our 27nd Annual Newark Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Dinner. Since 1988, we have been honoring athletes from public and private schools in and around the City of Newark. Our initial purpose was to focus attention on Newark’s glorious past and it’s bright future by cre- ating a positive environment where friendships, camaraderie and memories can be renewed. Tonight we continue that tradition with eighteen new Inductees, four Scholarship Winners, a Life Time Achievement Award and two State Championship Teams, the 1963 Central Basketball and the 1966 South Side Football Teams The Honorees have proven, as in the past, that they are to be recognized as true role models, a characteristic very much in need these days, whether in a large city or a small town. You can turn to a bio page in this or any one of the previous twenty six books of inductees and find a role model you can be proud to emulate. The hallmarks of a good athlete are dedication, desire, teamwork, hard work, time management and good sportsmanship. These are the same qualities necessary to succeed in the classroom and the workplace. That’s why our Hall of Fame Family of Inductees are to be viewed as success stories, on and off the field. To our Scholarship Award Winners, you have been recognized to possess the characteristics outlined above; therefore, we wish you good fortune in college and hope to see you back here one evening on the dais, as a future Inductee into the Hall of Fame.

In 1973, there were also two concerts at Fenway Park in Boston, under the name “Newport New England Jazz Festival,” and in 1977 the festival presented an ancillary “Newport Jazz Festival-Saratoga” in upstate New York. The festival returned to Rhode Island at Newport’s Fort Adams State Park in 1981 and, after 17 years of joint presentations in NYC ended in 2008, still continues there. But for 60 years the festival’s one constant has been the leadership of impresario George Wein, first an employee and then longtime owner of the festival.

    FALL 2019 PRESENTED BY NEW ARTS JUSTICE AND MONUMENT LAB MILITARY PARK THE TIME IS NOW: IMAGINING MONUMENTS FOR NEWARK Salamishah Tillet and Paul Farber There is a great peace, after the war great love, after the hatred –Amiri Baraka Located in the heart of Newark’s Military Park, one of the nation’s oldest public spaces, a large bronze sculpture sits elevated on a raised pedestal layered with granite on its outer edges. The sculp- ture, Wars of America, is nearly a century old and included on the National Register of Historic Places. It forges the middle ground of a park that has been and continues to be a throughway, a gathering place, and a space to consider the multiple narratives that comprise Newark of yesteryear and today. Wars of America stands out from most other war monuments in Newark and elsewhere, as it elevates a collective of people rather than a single heroic icon. Conjuring references of American conflicts from the Revolution through the Civil War and World War I, this grouping does not merely lionize the leaders of End Apartheid Now rally, 1986.

  • Oral History Project: Willie Cole
    Willie Cole at ASSEMBLAGE: AN ORGANICALLY GROWN EXHIBITION at Culture Lab, West Palm Beach, FL, 2018. Photo by Related Companies. Courtesy of Culture Corps. Born in New Jersey and still residing there, Willie Cole is a global traveler in life and art. Working with objects found in the streets and junkshops of Newark and Harlem—including steam irons, hair dryers, lawn jockeys and plastic water bottles —and with sources ranging from Yoruba and Senufo masks and sacred figures to major works of early Modernism, Cole forges assemblages distinguished by their sharp wit and formal elegance. Calling himself, in a two-part 2019 interview, an “archeological ethnographic Dadaist,” he explained his unified theory of matter to me, a source of the spiritual current that runs throughout his work: “I’m sure a physicist could say it better than me, but if you break everything down to the smallest particle, everything is the same. It’s the rate of vibration that creates the illusion of solidity.” A precocious artist, Cole made installations in his childhood bedroom, and met Amiri Baraka while attending Newark Arts High School. At the School of Visual Arts in New York City, his teachers included Chuck Close and Jonathan Borofsky. Irrepressibly restless, Cole pursued theater and music as well as visual art after graduating. He also wrote children’s books and sitcom scripts, and in the early 1980s launched a nonprofit in Newark called the Works Gallery that fostered the city’s nascent art community. A 1988 residency at the Studio Museum in Harlem proved a turning point, helping Cole consolidate the visual language of sculptures that now often reach monumental scale.
