A Publication for Employees of Montclair State University

Art director turns author and illustrator...The Rosen Publishing Group recently released a new children's book, Jalani and the Lock, authored and illustrated by Lorenzo Pace, director of the Art Galleries. Jalani and the Lock tells the story of a young boy's experience with slavery and his hope for freedom. The book is based on the true story of the lock that shackled Pace's great-great-grandfather and has been handed down in his family through the generations. Pictured, MSU President Susan A. Cole joins Pace as he talks about the book to children in the Child Care Center's Pre-K classroom. They are Claudia, daughter of Lucy Flores of Information Technology; Tabansi, son of Saundra Collins of Psychology; and Tara, daughter of Dawn Torchon, a Child Care Center toddler room teacher.
