Stand Against Racism
On April 11th, 2008 Cadwalader Heights participated with over 5,000 people across 10 municipalities in Mercer County in the YWCA's first annual STAND AGAINST RACISM. We joined with the YWCA and 60 other participating organizations in declaring loudly, and with one voice, that racism can no longer be ignored or tolerated. Several quotations were read out loud, and a significant poem, written in 1969 by one of our neighbors, was read (read the poem). We all took the pledge to fight against racism.
View the video from the event.

"I was blown away by the architecture," he said of the neighborhood that features approximately 70 homes ranging in style from cottages to magnificent Tudor Revivals...
