A “Welcome to Camden” series will begin at noon on Wednesday, September 15, 2021, in the Cooper Medical School of Rowan University Auditorium with a presentation by Sandra Turner-Barnes, an award-winning author, historian, and performance poet, and executive director of the Camden County Cultural and Heritage Commission.
Ms. Turner-Barnes was born at Cooper University Hospital and raised in the city of Camden while her mother was an employee of Cooper. She is a direct descendant of the Sadler and Still families, the founders of two separate historical African American settlements within Southern New Jersey, dating back to the 1700s.
The program is the result of 15 years of research and aims to raise awareness about African American enslavement in the City of Camden and New Jersey.
