In the heart of Newark, New Jersey, a city known for its rich history and cultural diversity, a black police organization has been driving change and fighting for equality and justice. This oral will delve into the inspiring stories and experiences of the members who stood up against systemic racism, while also shedding light on their ongoing efforts to build trust between the community and law enforcement.

A Struggle for Equality

Newark has faced its fair share of challenges over the years, including racial tensions and unjust treatment by law enforcement. In the face of adversity, the Black Police Organization emerged, determined to address these problems head-on. Comprised of both active and retired black police officers, they have taken it upon themselves to advocate for a more inclusive and equitable society.

Fighting Racism within the Police Force

The organization's primary focus is dismantling the deep-rooted racism within the police force itself. Through candid interviews, current and former officers recount their personal experiences of facing discrimination, prejudice, and systemic racism within the ranks. These stories highlight the urgent need for reform and the tireless efforts of the organization to eliminate these barriers.

Founded in 1959 during the civil rights movement, the Newark Bronze Shields was formed by a group of Black police officers looking to combat the virulent racism they faced within Newark, NJ’s largest police department. They also wanted to provide services to the city’s new Black/brown majority. What the organization (and its members) would ultimately do over the next six decades was help change the face, gender and complexion of the Newark Police Department. Bronze Shields is an oral history of the organization’s 60-year journey toward equality and impactful community service. Interwoven with the history of Newark, the story of the Bronze Shields is told within the context of historic events which transformed Newark into a renaissance city.
