Members of the Reparations Commission of the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey used the first day of Black History Month to take a pilgrimage visiting sites related to Anglican and Episcopal slavery in New Jersey. The pilgrimage was produced through the research of the Diocese of New Jersey Racial Justice Review. Sites included the Perth Amboy Ferry Slip, the Tinton Falls African Burial Ground, Marlpit Hall in Middletown, and Sandy Hook. You can take the pilgrimage too!
