About this Collection

This collection page is under construction. We apologize for the inconvenience you can still view Ironbound Voices (Environmental justice, Newark) and Tenant Action News .

The Ironbound Community Corporation (ICC) is a non-profit organization founded in 1969 that has provided services for families, seniors, and students, and has done organizing work on issues like housing, environmental justice, education, and health since the 1970s. In 2016, ICC sponsored an Ironbound History Day.

ICC has two newspapers in a separate collection "Newark Area Community Newsletters" which are Ironbound Voices (Environmental justice, Newark) and Tenant Action News (Housing, Newark). Click the links to read those.

This collection consists of documents, photos, and videos about the work of ICC and the history of the Ironbound. See more photos at the ICC's digital exhibit Picturing Justice. See also: Rutger's HCLC student project Environmental Justice in the Ironbound.

This is a selection from a full collection which can be viewed at Newark Library's Van Buren Branch and at ICC.
