Durand-Hedden News

Yesterday's conversation with Dr. Hettie V. Williams was held via Zoom due to inclement weather. But the conversation could not have been livelier or more interesting. Over 100 participants joined in to listen to Dr. Williams discuss her book The Georgia of the North, Black Women and Civil Rights in New Jersey and to hear about her ongoing research. A Q&A followed, whereby participants from our local community as well as academics from nearby universities shared their thoughts and had questions discussed and answered.



We love this story by Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta in the News-Record NJ, (Worrall Community Newspapers, Inc.). It truly captures the spirit of last week's Open-Hearth Cooking Demonstrations with Margaret Quinn and Bernadette Rogoff. Durand-Hedden offered three seatings for the demos, all of which were full. This continues to be one of our most popular events every year. We thank all who came, enjoyed the food, and asked interesting questions about the history of open-hearth cooking.
