Fri., Aug. 8, 6:30 PM | 189 Hollow Road Skillman, NJ

Join the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum (SSAAM) for the grand opening of our newest special exhibit, All Stars: Black Baseball in New Jersey and Beyond.

​

This compelling installation features never-before-seen letters from Negro Leagues baseball star Paul “Beetle” Arnold, along with a brand-new oral history video that brings his legacy—and the powerful stories of local African American athletes—to life. Through artifacts, photographs, and personal accounts, All Stars explores the struggle, resilience, and triumph of Black baseball players who helped shape the game against the odds.
