Communities change. People come and go, as do businesses and neighborhood organizations. The way we use the land and buildings evolves to accommodate our needs and interests. This week's articles highlight efforts to preserve important remnants of the past and initiatives to track changes that have occurred. Some are following the transformations that are taking place right now. We are especially pleased to include news about the purchase of a property originally owned by an African American Union army veteran by a partnership of the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum (SSAAM) and the Sourland Conservancy. SSAAM is a member of the Sankofa Collaborative. Also note the new exhibit, Schools for the Colored, by Sankofa Collaborative friend Wendel A. White.
