The connection between the rebellion in Newark and the current rebellion in Gaza was made by numerous speakers and the presence of Palestinian flags. Speakers ranged from revolutionary Black youth new to the struggle to actual participants in the rebellion 57 years ago.
POP Chairperson Lawrence Hamm was incredible in his description of the details of the rebellion and the historical setting and context in which it occurred, along with the many other rebellions in African American communities in New Jersey during that same period. They took place in Plainfield, Camden, Trenton, Jersey City, Patterson and Asbury Park, to name a few.
