What roles have slavery and dispossession played in Rutgers history?
Learn about Rutgers’ deep and storied past with current Rutgers students as your guides.
Based on the research presented in Scarlet and Black, Volume 1: Slavery and Dispossession in Rutgers History, students in the Public History Program have worked with Kristin O’Brassill-Kulfan to share this history with a wider audience through historical walking tours. The tours are open to members of the public and communities across Rutgers.
All tours depart from outside Old Queens at Will’s Way (facing Voorhees Mall)
