Archange Antoine has lived a life dedicated to progressive reform. As the Political Director of the New Jersey Clergy Coalition for Justice, he recently organized a demonstration aligned with the Black Lives Matter movement outside the Trenton Statehouse calling for community policing reforms. He’s active in the political arena as the Chairman of the NJ Young Democrats’ Black Caucus, and he holds an elective office as the President of the Roselle Board of Education. But his public service began at the grass roots level as he worked with the youth on the streets of Newark as a volunteer for Covenant House. As our nation and state continue to re-examine issues of race in America, Archange Antoine talks about his life and his own efforts for progressive reform and racial equality, and he gives his perspective on the Black Lives Matter movement and the activism taking place on college campuses.
