1962réf. 690511962. Newark NJ: February 5 1962 to September 21 1965. Newark NJ: February 5 1962 to September 21 1965. Daily Record of a Police Officer in Newark New Jersey in the Early 1960s Manuscript. Newark New Jersey. Personal Logbook of a Newark New Jersey Police Officer. Newark NJ February 5 1962-September 21 1965. 500 pp. Thumb-tabbed index. Folio 13-3/4" x 8-1/2". Three-quarter cloth over contrasting pebbled cloth raised bands and faded gilt ornaments and title Record to spine. Some rubbing to extremities with light wear to spine ends and corners heavier wear to fore-edges of boards. Text in neat hand to rectos and versos of all 500 pages. $650. This privately compiled record allows us to trace the daily work life of a police officer in Newark New Jersey in the years immediately preceding the riots of 1967. At this time Newark was coping with deindustrialization migration of the white middle class to the suburbs and an influx of poor African Americans who were confronted with housing and job discrimination. At the same time the composition of the city's government and police force was predominantly white. Compiled with great care it as both a log book and diary. Here is a list of typical entries: "Responded to Police Headquarters on a call from Lt. O'Leary of the night bureau. From there with Det. Thran to N.Y.C. to pick up prisoner" "Assigned to the New York Police Academy for school" "On duty with Det. Rolleri Lt. Pichel working desk in author's absence" "Assigned in uniform at 5:30am for detail at Newark Airport" "Attending seminar at Rutgers New Brunswick" "Returned to duty in the 1st squad from prosecutor's office" and "Home for working Saturday." He had a few interesting assignments. He was part of a "Special Detail guarding President Kennedy at Columbus Day Parade" and was part of a detail to "guard Sen. Humphrey" when he visited the city. However most of the entries chronicle crimes apprehensions arrests and responses to complaints. Many of these are cases of vandalism petty theft low-level violence and other "quality of life" issues that afflict cities in decline. unknown books

1960réf. 231051960. New Jersey Black Photography Vernacular photographic archive documenting African American daily life in Newark New Jersey during the 1960s a period of rapid demographic change urban disinvestment and intensifying civil rights activism in one of the nation's most significant Black urban centers. Newark's Black population expanded substantially in the mid-twentieth century through the Great Migration forming dense neighborhood networks alongside persistent segregation housing inequality and strained relations with municipal authorities that would culminate in the 1967 Newark uprising. These photographs provide primary visual evidence of everyday life within this context capturing social interaction leisure commerce and street-level experience. The archive supports research into African American urban history Northern civil rights conditions and the lived realities of Black communities in industrial cities during the late civil rights era. Archive of 12 Large silver gelatin photographs. Each measure 8" x 10" on matte photo paper depicting street scenes recreation and community gathering spaces in Newark New Jersey with several images identified as taken along Sussex Avenue. The group includes an outdoor performance by an all-Black band on a public stage scenes of children and adults along residential streets and sidewalks and commercial life including three Black individuals standing outside a storefront marked by a neon "Fish Market" sign indicating neighborhood retail environments. One photograph shows a Black man and a white man standing together on a sidewalk possibly in a social or friendly context offering visual evidence of interracial presence within an urban neighborhood often characterized in historical narratives by segregation and tension. Additional images depict leisure activities such as boating and public park use as well as candid interactions among residents reinforcing the range of everyday experiences beyond protest or crisis imagery Taken together these photographs document the texture of daily life in Newark immediately before and during a period of national attention to urban unrest providing a counterpoint to dominant media representations that often centered violence rather than community continuity. The images show Newark's Black residents moving through neighborhood streets businesses and public spaces documenting everyday community life and social interaction in the 1960s urban North. Light edge wear minor creasing and surface marks consistent with handling; overall very good condition. As visual records of ordinary experience in a historically significant urban center the archive contributes to broader studies of Black Northern life postwar migration and the social conditions that shaped civil rights and urban policy debates in the 1960s. unknown
