Dressing up
 | | JEFF GRANIT staff Trish Chambers, a resident of Barnegat, showcases the slip under the dress women would wear at the time of the Underground Railroad during her presentation at the Old Bridge Public Library. The event was the first of two recognizing Black History Month at the library. The second, "Freedom Stairway," with an award-winning multimedia performance by Briz, will be held at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 9. It will feature songs and photos depicting the slaves' narratives and music saved by the Works Progress Administration, which conducted interviews in the 1930s with former slaves. |
