Pearls of Wisdom: Elder Stories–Portraits of Resistance, Resiliency and Respect
On view on the first floor of the Main Library until April 30, 2025.
A partnership with the New Jersey Performing Arts Center.
How can we face our present, if we don’t know our past? At a time when senior citizens, especially those of color, are particularly vulnerable, we need the wisdom of our elders more than ever. This traveling exhibit documents the stories and portraits of NJPAC’s Elders Council — a group of prominent Black elders who are respected in their field and in the community.
