The images and text in this web site are the on-line component of my project Small Towns, Black Lives. This work is a record of my interest in the historically African American communities of southern New Jersey. These pages contain representations of my photographs, text, panoramic images and QuickTime video. Small Towns, Black Lives is not a historical resource, it is a visual journal of discovery, memory, and recognition.

The current version of the web site is based on a previous site called The Cemetery. The Cemetery site went on-line in early 1995 and is now incorporated into Small Towns, Black Lives as the community Port Republic.

An exhibition catalog published by the Noyes Museum of Art with essays by Charles Ashley Stainback, Deborah Willis, Stedman Graham, and Clement Alexander Price is available for purchase. Click cover image for more information.
