The Sussex County Slave Graveyard Is A Chilling Reminder of New Jersey’s History

In the middle of the woods of the “ghost town” of Walpack, New Jersey, a little over an hour northwest of Montclair State University, sit some 50 gravestones of formerly enslaved African American residents. For centuries, the graves have remained unmarked and go mostly unnoticed. Their lack of recognition from government officials reminds us that, in 2026, racism is still very real, entrenched into the political institutions of our country.

The jug, signed by David Drake and crafted from stoneware measuring 36.8 centimeters by 27.9 centimeters, had been part of the museum's holdings since 2022, when it was acquired to help teach visitors about the history of enslavement and enslaved labor.

Why Is Albany the Capital of New York State Instead of New York City?

With New York City being the largest city in the United States, it might seem a little surprising that the capital of New York State is Albany. After all, New York City was once the capital of the entire country. Why, then, did the state government settle in a city roughly 150 miles to the north?

25 Famous Comedians You Didn’t Know Were From Upstate New York

New York City has long been one of America’s great comedy capitals, from earlier vaudeville theaters to Manhattan’s stand-up clubs and television studios. But some of the people who helped define American comedy came from places well beyond the five boroughs.
