Newark in 1967: A Rebellion Explored
On July 27, 2017, we held the first in a series of two annual programs known as the Clement Alexander Price Lectures: The Newark Rebellion of 1967: A Historic Moment Considered. A group of panelists reflected a range of experiences and interrogated the root of six days of rioting which took place in Newark, N.J. between July 12 and 17, 1967.

Newark: Re-built and Re-imagined
Our second panel consisted of Newark residents from all walks of life including the academic, creative and corporate sectors who participated in the rebuilding of their communities and institutions post 1967. Panelists discussed why they remained in their neighborhoods or remained as corporate pillars as part of the city’s re-emergence.
