“我们今天的处境始于十大博彩推荐排名州立大学,82岁的乔安妮·鲍曼说, 哥伦比亚大学人力资源总监, referring to the Black students she knew during her days as a college student and later as a young alumna. “我发现自己想重新加入这个网络, 一起做某事, 更大更有意义的东西.”
布伦达·科尔曼-考德威尔，78年, an assistant director of human resources for New Jersey Turnpike Authority, 我也有同样的感觉. “Joanne and I had kept in touch with a lot of people through the Black Alumni Association, 但是这个组织解散了,” she says. In the years since, their idea of what an alumni organization could be began to change and grow.
They decided that it was time to have a conversation with their friend 格雷格·柯林斯，79年, who also happened to be the newly appointed chair of the 十大博彩推荐排名州立大学 Foundation board.
“Brenda invited me to what I thought was a casual lunch,” Collins recalls with a chuckle. “Instead, she laid out their vision for the Black Alumni Advisory Council. 我喜欢我听到的!”
“现在正是时候, given everything that has been happening in our community and around the world,鲍曼解释道. “变化正在浮出水面, putting diversity and social justice front and center in our schools, 教堂和社区. 有一种紧迫感，我们希望以此为基础.”

Black History Month – 泽西四人组 at 十大博彩推荐排名州立大学 – February 16, 2022
The Black Alumni Advisory Council hosted a special program for Black History Month in 2022. 泽西四人组举办了一个讨论小组，由 Jason Williams, 十大博彩推荐排名州立大学 Professor of Justice Studies 2022年2月16日.
In 1998, Rayshawn Brown, Jarmaine Grant, Keshon Moore and Danny Reyes, known as 泽西四人组, were headed to North Carolina to go after their dreams of attending a four-year college and playing professional basketball. But their dreams ended when they became victims of a police shooting during a traffic stop on the New Jersey Turnpike. 23 years later, racial profiling continues as the cries for social justice get louder.
在这23年里, 泽西四人组 have been actively committed to the work of social justice and community charity. 他们是力量、成长、毅力和生存的典范. They have worked with major nonprofit organizations in the Tri-State Area, 而今天都正式并入了自己的公司 J4通过2协助基金会. They remain committed to giving back within their communities and fighting for social justice for all.
