    Center on the American Governor, Eagleton Institute of Politics, Rutgers University http://governors.rutgers.edu/ Gov. Richard Codey Interview (April 9, 2019) Rick Sinding: Hello. I'm Rick Sinding. It's Tuesday, April 9th, 2019, here on the campus of Rutgers University, at the Eagleton Institute of Politics. With me today for the Center on the American Governor is Dick Codey, who has spent, almost continuously, the last 45 years as a member of the New Jersey legislature, first, as an Assemblyman, and for the last 37 years, as a Senator. But I say, "almost continuously," because due to a variety of unusual circumstances, not once, not twice, but three times, he has been called upon to serve either as acting governor or as governor of the State of New Jersey. Senator/Governor Codey, welcome to Eagleton. Richard Codey: My pleasure. Rick Sinding: Let's start at the beginning of your career. Richard Codey: A long time ago. Rick Sinding: Actually, let's start at the beginning of your life. Richard Codey: <Laughs> That's a long time ago, too. Rick Sinding: I saw a biography that says that you grew up in your family's funeral home, in Orange. Richard Codey: Yes, I did. We lived on the third floor. The elevator only went to the second and, for a while, the air conditioning only went to the second, as well. But my generation, the family on both sides—we are now, my generation, the first to go to college and live in a house. Before that, nobody had that opportunity, and my parents always stressed to us—the five of us—that we could buy a home, but then there would be no way you could get to college, and you're going to go to college.

Silent No Longer: Voices of the 1967 Newark Race Riots Abstract From 12 to 18 July 1967, Newark, New Jersey, erupted in one of the most devastating riots in U.S. history. Twenty-six people were killed, but thousands were forever affected by the violence. The U.S. and New Jersey governments did extensive research on these riots, but the real stories of the common citizen in Newark were never documented. My thesis, an oral history, fills in this missing piece of knowledge yb providing an in-depth look at the lives of ten individuals who have been shaped by the riots. Using their stories, along with primary and secondary research, I discuss major themes impacting Newark’s black residents – healthcare, education, police brutality, unemployment, and public housing – to illustrate that freedom was not always guaranteed to all Americans.
