ATLANTIC CITY -The Black Business Expo and Book Fair being held at Stockton University's annual African-American Cultural Heritage Short Course 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 27, 2024, at the Atlantic City campus, is currently seeking local Black/African-American vendors.

The short course, hosted by Stockton's Office of Continuing Studies and Adult Education, will feature the expo and book fair alongside a day of interactive workshops that celebrate the history, culture, art, music and leadership of African Americans in southern New Jersey and the greater Atlantic City area.

The expo asks that authors and small businesses bring books, music, jewelry, beauty products, clothes, hair and skin care, art, and more to share in the celebration of African-American culture. In addition to tabling, vendors have the opportunity to help sponsor selected local students' attendance by purchasing ad space in the course's large program book, Redefining Green, a nod to Victor Green's 1936 Negro Motorist Green Book.

For more information about vendors and to purchase an ad in the event's program book, see the Continuing Studies website at Stockton.edu/Continuing-Studies/AACHSC.html.
