泽西市规划委员会一致通过 将43处黑人历史遗迹纳入总体规划
泽西市规划委员会近日一致投票通过，将43处与非裔美国人历史相关的遗迹正式纳入该市总体规划的历史保护部分，给予其更高级别的保护。这一行动被认为将填补该市长期缺失的非裔历史文献空白。
这批遗迹来自一项由亨特研究公司（Hunter Research）完成的首创性建筑学研究。研究首次系统梳理了泽西市的非裔美国人历史遗存，涵盖民权运动与社区生活的多个重要场所。其中包括该市首位非裔教师的故居、市区仅存的一处地下铁路停靠点——希尔顿-霍尔登住宅（79 Clifton Place）、1960年代成为民权运动中心的圣约翰圣公会教堂，以及曾蓄养奴隶的范瓦格南家族苹果树屋。
值得一提的是，1968年马丁·路德·金博士在大都会AME锡安教堂发表演讲，这是他遇刺前八天最后几场公开露面之一。目前已有部分遗迹获得地标保护，其余则处于无保护状态。委员会成员表示，这份报告只是一个起点，未来随着研究深入还将继续挖掘、增补更多遗迹。
Jersey City Planning Board Votes Unanimously to Add 43 Black Historic Sites to Master Plan
Jersey City's Planning Board recently voted unanimously to formally incorporate 43 sites tied to African American history into the historic preservation element of the city's master plan, giving them a higher level of protection. The move is expected to fill a long-standing gap in the city's documentation of Black history.
The sites come from a first-of-its-kind architectural survey completed by Hunter Research. The study systematically cataloged Jersey City's African American historic resources, covering key places in the civil rights movement and community life, including the home of the city's first Black teacher; the Hilton-Holden House at 79 Clifton Place, the city's only surviving Underground Railroad stop; St. John's Episcopal Church, a 1960s civil rights hub; and the Van Wagenen apple tree house, whose family once enslaved people.
Notably, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke at Metropolitan AME Zion Church in 1968, in one of his final public appearances eight days before his assassination. Some sites already have landmark protection while others have none. Board members said the report is only a starting point, and more sites will be researched and added over time.
