A violation of Human Freedom
With the Super Bowl
expected to bring an influx of thousands of people into New Jersey, the state
will be at an increased vulnerability to human trafficking. New Jersey is
already a prime location for domestic and international human trafficking
because of its central location between the New York metropolitan area and the
tri-state metropolitan region of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C.
It is the most densely populated state in the U.S. and has the third highest
proportion of foreign born residents at nearly 20 percent. A panel of experts
will discuss Human Trafficking

Book Discussion DESTINED TO WITNESS
Hans J. Massaquoi chronicles his
childhood in Hamburg in the 1930's, where he ''fell through the cracks of
modern history's . . . most systematic mass-murder scheme.'' The son of an
African diplomat and a white German nurse who never married, the young
Massaquoi was swept up by Hitler's pageantry and propaganda. 'Destined to
Witness'' examines a roller coaster of racism from different cultures and
continents.
