Dr. Alan Delozier of Seton Hall University to lecture at Irish American Society of the Jersey Shore

To honor our nation’s 250th anniversary, Dr. Alan Delozier, noted historian, author, and humanities librarian at Seton Hall University, will present a talk entitled “Irish &amp; New Jersey in the American Revolution – An Introduction”
"The story of America's founding is incomplete without recognizing the early contributions of Irish immigrants and Irish Americans," said Delozier. "Their commitment to liberty, public service, faith, and community helped leave a lasting imprint on the development of the state and the nation.""The semiquincentennial provides an ideal opportunity to hear stories of individuals whose important contributions to America's founding are not often in the historical spotlight," said Fran Griffin, Founder of the Society. "We’re pleased to welcome Alan as he shares the significant role Irish played in helping to establish America, especially in New Jersey.”
The talk is on Monday, July 13, at 7:00 p.m. at the Friendly Sons of the Shillelagh (upstairs), 815 16th Avenue, Belmar. Admission is free for members of the Society and FSOS Belmar chapter. A donation of $10 is requested for guests. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. For more info on the Society see <a href="https://www.jerseyshoreirish.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.jerseyshoreirish.org/</a>.
