Participants in the Amistad Commission’s Teacher Initiative toured the African American Heritage Museum of Southern NJ as part of their professional development program held at Stockton State College from July 27-29, 2015.  Museum Founder Ralph Hunter (seated far left) conducted the private tour as part of the teacher’s efforts to integrate African American history into the New Jersey core curriculum.

The Amistad Commission is headed by Stephanie James Wilson, former Director of the African American Museum in Philadelphia.
