The exhibition takes inspiration from Régine Michelle Jean-Charles’, A Trumpet of Conscience for the 21st Century: King’s Call to Justice. Jean-Charles examines the influence of Martin Luther King’s 1960s-era speeches on American social movements. HCCC celebrates Dr. King’s activism through history, the arts, and community in the Benjamin J. Dineen III and Dennis C. Hull Gallery. The exhibit timeline begins with King’s legendary visit to Jersey City and archives other social changes throughout the decades, ending with the Black Lives Matters movement and Tamkia Palmer’s virtual event in the gallery in February 2021. Other highlights include an interactive word display created by the Poetry and Language Collective, NJ Reentry Program original works of art, a digital mural by the PACDEI Student Action Group, and an ever-changing food donation sculpture. Artists include: Faith Ringgold. Opening Reception: Wed, Feb 15, 3-7pm.
