The Greenville branch of Jersey City's library system would be renamed for late
Jersey Journal reporter and columnist Earl Morgan under a measure set for final
adoption by the City Council on Wednesday.
Morgan died on June 5 at the age of 75. A lifelong Jersey City resident, Morgan
spent decades reporting on the city for The Jersey Journal.
The Greenville library is located at 1841 Kennedy Blvd., on the city's south side.
Morgan was a frequent visitor to its Afro-American Historical and Cultural Society
Museum. [Rest of Article]
