We're proud to announce our upcoming exhibition, All Stars: Black Baseball in New Jersey and Beyond, which opens with a special reception on Friday, August 8, 2025, at 183 Hollow Road, Skillman, NJ. This powerful new installation celebrates the legacy of African American baseball in New Jersey, featuring rare letters from Negro Leagues star Paul "Beetle" Arnold, alongside a newly released oral history video that brings his story—and those of other Black athletes—to life. The exhibit highlights personal artifacts, photographs, and firsthand accounts that tell the story of players who shaped the game on their own terms and against the odds. The reception will be followed by free open hours on Saturday, August 9, from 10 AM to 1 PM, during which the exhibit will be available for community viewing at Mt. Zion AME Church (189 Hollow Road, Skillman).
