Lawnside Heritage Day
Camden Chapter
Sisters from the Camden Chapter of NHBW march in the annual Lawnside parade. After the parade, informational tables, vendors, and live music are some of the activities the residents of Lawnside and visitors partake. The borough of Lawnside has a colorful and interesting past which includes being a stop for slaves migrating to Northern cities. Lawnside, New Jersey has "claimed a place in history, becoming the first independent self-governing African-American community north of the Mason-Dixon line." There is a very nice article written by Junious Ricardo Stanton that highlights the origin of Lawnside and its' citizens.
