This #MLKDay, we reflect on the intersections between the King & Carter families. Carter posthumously awarded MLK the Presidential Medal of Freedom and also designated MLK’s birth home in Atlanta, GA as a national historic site in 1980. fox5atlanta.com/news/jimmy-c…
Join us in celebrating the life & mourning the passing of Ms. Lois Smith, the Muse of the @HarrietMuseum, whose soul shifted up an octave 11/23 at 95 years young. Leading the Macedonia Baptist Church choir & playing the keys at service until the end, she will be deeply missed.

Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., born #OnThisDay, who delivered his call for "Nonviolence and Racial Justice" in Cape May at the Quaker Friends National Conference in June 1958. Happy #MLKDay!
Thank you for your service, leadership, and support, @LtGovOliver. Your trailblazing legacy is truly inspirational. Our hearts and thoughts are with your family. May you rest in peace.
“It has taken from our Independence in 1776 until this moment for New Jersey to have a woman of color serving in a statewide elected office.”

65 years ago, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered "Nonviolence and Racial Justice" in Cape May, NJ. June 27, 1958.
"Social progress does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability. It comes only through persistent work and the tireless efforts of dedicated individuals."
Our #Juneteenth 2nd Anniversary of the @HarrietMuseum was an unforgettable day of celebration, reflection, community, history, music and abundant love. We could not be more grateful than to share our journey together as a growing and thriving organization!

Though he’d just lost his beloved wife Shirley, Sen. Ron Rice made the trek from Newark to Cape May in Sept 2020 to spend time with our leadership team before the Museum opened. His example of public service was a gift from the start of our journey. Rest in power, Senator.
"I go to prepare a place for you."
Happy #HarrietTubmanDay! March 10 celebrates the life of our hero #HarrietTubman and commemorates the anniversary of her death in 1913. Let her courage and compassion inspire your day today.
Congratulations to Newark on this latest tribute!

4. Lastly, the Harriet Tubman Museum in Cape May, New Jersey offers exhibits and educational programs about Tubman's life and work as an abolitionist.
Visitors can learn about her efforts to help enslaved people escape to freedom and her work as a suffragist later in life.
On this #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate all of the brave women trailblazers who guide us in creating a fairer, better world for people everywhere. #IWD2023

Did you know Harriet Tubman spent several summers in Cape May, NJ?
@HarrietMuseum sits on the street where she and other abolitionist leaders met and made their plans.
Hear about that and other spots that mark our region’s Underground Railroad history: bit.ly/3In2fd2
