It’s Jackie Robinson Day! 🧢⚾️

Before debuting in the MLB in 1947, Robinson broke the color barrier in 1946 during his minor league debut with the Montreal Royals, versing the Jersey City Giants at the old Roosevelt Stadium.

Robinson’s legacy has left a huge imprint on Jersey City and Hudson County as a whole. We spoke with presidents of Jersey City’s Jackie Robinson Little League and Washington Park Little League.

“There’s not an American in this country free until every one of us is free.” - Jackie Robinson

Residents 👏🏽 want 👏🏽 more 👏🏽 resource 👏🏽 fairs!

On Saturday, Hudson County hosted another Resource Fair where residents found a one-stop shop for different resources from applying to emergency housing, medicaid and much more. We spoke with Patty and Ria of @paccaljc to hear their thoughts about the event!

The community fairs will continue to make its way around different municipalities and are part of an initiative to bring experts and resources directly to residents. Representatives are on site to assist people with applications for services like childcare, veterans’ benefits, mental health services or rental and housing assistance.

The next fair will be in two weeks at a place to be determined.

A 4.8 magnitude earthquake rattled New Jersey and the Tri-State area at about 10:23am Friday morning.

Earthquakes are not common in the area so residents rushed to social media to confirm the events.

Although this is the strongest earthquake the state has felt since 1938, thankfully no damages have been reported.

The Israel-Hamas war in Gaza has been a huge concern in Hudson County and New Jersey as the state is home to a large community of Palestinians and Jewish people.

As local and state elections approach, candidates’ views on a ceasefire could influence a voter’s decision.

Trying to apply for medicaid, food stamps or find

Trying to apply for medicaid, food stamps or find small business loans and grant opportunities? Hudson County is offering a one-stop shop for all local residents! (No April Fool’s joke here 🙅🏻‍♀️)

The community fairs are expected to be held at different municipalities and are part of an initiative to bring experts and resources directly to residents. Representatives are on site to assist people with applications for services like childcare, veterans’ benefits, mental health services or rental and housing assistance.

“Sometimes people don’t have the access to get down to Jersey City to experience some of the services so we are going to come to them and this will not be the last one,” Guy told Slice of Culture.

The next resource fair will be held at County Prep High School in Jersey City on April 13.

#featurefriday • Hip-hop is more than music… it’s a cultural movement ♾️

Jose Agosto, a New Jersey resident, spent a lot of time in New York during the 90s and got to experience the culture firsthand. Agosto was in his late teens/early twenties during the 90s hip-hop period.

When I was first getting into hip-hop I started by listening to NWA so we were into the Raider fits and anything silver and black,” Agosto told Slice of Culture.

“Eventually I got into Naughty by Nature and Redman’s music too which got us into incorporating construction clothing into our outfits. We would tuck our baggy jeans into Timberland boots and wear Carhartt vests/jackets.”
