JERSEY CITY, NJ - While not quite as cold as Valley Forge was the winter when Gen. George Washington camped out there during the American Revolution, a chilly Presidents Day paired with COVID-19 pandemic to keep the number of participants at Jersey City’s annual commemoration Monday.
Local legend has long claimed that George Washington, while general of the Colonial Army, met with French Major Gen. Marquis de Lafayette in 1779 under an apple tree in front of a house owned by Harman Van Wagenen, a Jersey City Farmer.
Located at 298 Academy Street, the house, renamed “The Apple Tree House”, has since served as a gathering place for commemorating Presidents Day each year.

JERSEY CITY, NJ - For Pamela Johnson, executive director of Jersey City Anti-Violence Coalition Movement, her work to curb violence is not theoretical. She was once caught in the crossfire between two gunmen and has since made it a mission to help solve the community issues that lead to that kind of violence.
Her program is seen as one of the most effective in the state and even prompted Gov. Phil Murphy to seek her out in order to possibly use her organization as a model for other distressed communities.
Speaking out against a national issue, Johnson has led marches and vigils on Martin Luther King Drive for the victims in Baton Rouge, Minnesota and Dallas. In the aftermath of a grand jury s decision not to indict Ferguson, MO police officer Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown, she reminded the City Council of the fatal shooting of Lavon King that took place right in her own city.
