Barbara J. Kukla Papers, Newark Public Library, Page 2 and these were used as a basis for 5 series of mixed materials and subject files, adding a miscellaneous

series. These series were split into biographical and subject files (except Series 5 due to small size), with

miscellaneous biographical material added to the last series. Glossy photographs and oversized materials

were separated from all files and sorted by subject in alphabetical files in series 7 and 8. The 1995 James

Baxter Terrace Journal was added from the CFCNJIC Collection, since many other issues of the journal

were part of this collection, and the journal had little historical information.

An additional donation was made in 2018 including many more periodicals from Tiny Prince, which were

moved to his collection MG Prince, more issues of the Newark Herald News, research files, and research

binders, as well as some misc. material. It was interfiled, except for jazz research files which were added

to a new box.

The jazz research consisted of several separated files as well as three alphabetical binders of

notes/material by biographical name or place name. Material was removed from binder and placed in

folders kept in order. Some unattached material at the start of the first binder was given its own folder. So,

for example box 17, folder 5, contains the parts of the N-Z binder including Q-Sm and therefore would

include such figures as Willie “The Lion” Smith.

The second donation also included almost 60 cassette tapes of jazz research interviews, which were

made into Series 9 and marked as staff access only due fragility. We hope to digitize these tapes in the

near future.

Lastly the second donation included CDs which were separated to the audio collection and periodicals,

separated to the periodical collection.

Upon second processing two documents “Order of the Anvil” and “Masonic Bethany Lodge 31”, and

“"Biographical Sketches Posthumous Recognition” were missing. These were photocopied documents,

not original and are available at digital.npl.org.

Biographical Note

Barbara J. Kukla was born in 1940 and grew up in North Arlington, New Jersey. Her interest in journalism

began when she was 12 years old and started writing for The Viking Saga, the student newspaper paper

at North Arlington High School, where she graduated in 1958. During her senior year, she was the

paper's editor-in-chief.

After graduating Bloomfield College in 1963, she worked for the Bloomfield Independent Press and The

Herald-News of Passaic before moving to The-Star Ledger, where she spent nearly 37 years, mostly as

editor of the popular Newark This Week section. She also was the paper's Sunday city editor for seven

years.

Early in her career, she interviewed Viola Wells, a famous Newark singer known as Miss Rhapsody who

introduced her to many people in the Newark community, especially its jazz artists. Kukla's first book,

Swing City: Newark Nightlife 1925-1950, published in 1990 by Temple University Press, is dedicated to

Miss Rhapsody. Reissued as a paperback by Rutgers University Press in 2002, it is considered the

authoritative work on the Newark jazz scene.

Since then, Kukla has written many more books and six calendars about Newark. They include: Defying

the Odds: Triumphant Black Women of Newark; Sounds of Music: The Dolores Collins Benjamin Story;

Newark Inside My Soul: A 50-Year Memoir and America’s Music: Jazz In Newark, Newark Women: From

Suffragettes to the Statehouse, and City of Champions.

Barbara J. Kukla Papers, Newark Public Library, Page 3 As a charter member of the Newark Public Schools Historic Preservation Committee, she also wrote the

Newark Public Schools Directory of Distinguished Alumni in 2016. For many years, Kukla operated the

Friends of Barbara Kukla Scholarship Fund, a group that raised $50,000 to aid Newark Public Schools

children. She is a member of Bethany Baptist church. She has one daughter, Dashanta Faucette-Knight,

and one granddaughter, LaFire Faucette.

Scope and Content

This collection consists of the collected papers of Barbara J. Kukla, who has worked in Newark for over

fifty years as an author and reporter. These materials were collected by Barbara, both through her work

and for personal interest. Some of the significant topics represented in these files are: music, theater,

poetry, fine arts, books, African-American heritage and history, African-American life, women’s issues,

women’s history, public schools, charter schools, universities, colleges, religion (churches, pastors),

politicians, elections, community groups, women’s groups, civil rights groups, and history. Most files focus

on Newark, with some New Jersey and national information. The bulk of material covers the 1970s to the

2000s.

Series 1-6 contain paper materials, the majority of which are clippings, pamphlets, leaflets, event journals,

and fliers. Series 7 contains photographs. Series 8, the oversized series, contains mostly paper copies of

newspapers, as well as posters, emphysema, and paper materials.
