Ancient Native American trails led the first settlers to Roselle Park. Samuel Williams and his family established a farm, some of the first roads, and a home on the road to the West Fields. Later, this area felt the trudge of soldiersa feet, as Revolutionary War skirmishes were fought along Galloping Hill Road. Former battlefields gave way to prospering farms, and by New Years Day of 1839, farmers heard the train engines that were to provide the predominant means of direct transportation to work, markets, and recreation. When Roselle Parkas founding fathers separated from Union Township and incorporated, the community defined itself as a most unique borough, different in many ways from its neighbors. As you journey through Roselle Park, you may catch a glimpse of a military general, a famous inventor, a governor, a president, a famous actor, a sports figure, family members, classmates, teachers, neighbors, and old friends. Photographs included in this long-awaited history represent a collection acquired by the Roselle Park Historical Society. Diligent research offers insight into a community that has been involved in the forefront of important developments, including Marconias wireless telegraph, WDYas radio broadcasting, Edisonas electrical wiring, women in politics, and the first poured cement school building. Although Roselle Park is only 1.3 square miles, it has always been an important link in the chain of transportation, industry, and historical events.
A BLUEPRINT FOR BUILDING PREMIER EDUCATIONAL LANDSCAPES IN YOUR COMMUNITIES This book is both a Memoir on challenges facing public schools and a Manual showing how those can be turned into opportunities for creating effective and, even, exceptional schools. The Memoir depicts a career which spans 30 years, 4 schools, and an entire district beset with special characteristics and problems. It is, at times, both somber and funny. It shows communities at their best and communities at their worst with teachers causing or reflecting both ends of the continuum. It also shows how an administrator can steer their buildings and districts toward state and national recognition In a stark accounting, this book delineates both blatant and subtle discrimination against females in a “man’s world” and mirrors history in its critical approach to women administrators. The Chapter entitled, “How to Break through the Glass Ceiling without Having to Sweep up the Mess” offers suggestions on how women can use some of that history to their advantage. Included in the Manual portion of this book are also sections that offer step-by-step instructions for administrators who want to raise both the level of expectation and the performance of staff and students in an ongoing quest for excellence. There are also “recipes” for raising test scores in a meaningful and dramatic way. Several “fun” events encapsulated in both pictures and narrative excite not only students and staff but also communities and can be easily replicated. Although many of these events were 1st in the country and featured in magazine and newspaper articles, they are easy to copy—especially at the elementary level. Lastly, there are tips for parents and ways to include them in this process we call education. Given the recent Covid-19 crisis, enlisting, and enlarging the role of parents is especially timely.
On January 10, 1966, Klansmen murdered civil rights leader Vernon Dahmer in Forrest County, Mississippi. Despite the FBI's growing conflict against the Klan, recent civil rights legislation, and progressive court rulings, the Imperial Wizard promised his men: “no jury in Mississippi would convict a white man for killing a nigger.” Yet this murder inspired change. Since the onset of the civil rights movement, local authorities had mitigated federal intervention by using subtle but insidious methods to suppress activism in public arenas. They perpetuated a myth of Forrest County as a bastion of moderation in a state notorious for extremism. To sustain that fiction, officials emphasized that Dahmer's killers hailed from neighboring Jones County and pursued convictions vigorously. Although the Dahmer case became a watershed in the long struggle for racial justice, it also obscured Forrest County's brutal racial history. Patricia Michelle Boyett debunks the myth of moderation by exploring the mob lynchings, police brutality, malicious prosecutions, and Klan terrorism that linked Forrest and Jones Counties since their founding. She traces how racial atrocities during World War II and the Cold War inspired local blacks to transform their counties into revolutionary battlefields of the movement. Their electrifying campaigns captured global attention, forced federal intervention, produced landmark trials, and chartered a significant post-civil rights crusade. By examining the interactions of black and white locals, state and federal actors, and visiting activists from settlement to contemporary times, Boyett presents a comprehensive portrait of one of the South's most tortured and transformative landscapes.
