Stories

      An eight-part series of events, called Untold Stories, focused on School No. 2 and the Bordentown Manual Training and Industrial School.  the Bordentown School, which operated from 1886 to 1955, was almost unique in the country. What started as a place for the underprivileged grew to become an elite school with a parade of celebrity visitors ranging from Albert Einstein to Eleanor Roosevelt. That dynamic—an elite school for black youth to learn academics and trades in the middle of the segregated era—was a fitting thing to look at for a program aimed at bringing Bordentown’s history into the greater conversation. The below flyers represent the events, places and people discussed in the series.
