1944 · The G.I Bill
The G.I. Bill was a law that provided a range of benefits for returning World War II veterans that were on active duty during the war and weren't dishonorably discharged. The goal was to provide rewards for all World War II veterans. The act avoided life insurance policy payouts because of political distress caused after the end of World War I. But the Benefits that were included were: Dedicated payments of tuition and living expenses to attend high school, college or vocational/technical school, low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business, as well as one year of unemployment compensation. By the mid-1950s, around 7.8 million veterans used the G.I. Bill education benefits.
1947 · New Jersey State Constitution (Current Version)
The New Jersey state government was reorganized through a new update to the state constitution. One of the most notable changes was that voting rights were restored to females and non-white citizens. Other adjustments included: Governors could serve four years (instead of three), and the state legislature would include a 40-member senate and 80-member General Assembly.
1964
During the summer of 1964, racially charged riots broke out from frustrated Negro communities across the nation. In New Jersey, three cities were impacted: Jersey City (from August 2 - 4), Paterson (from August 11 - 13) and Elizabeth (also August 11 - 13). Between the three locations, 60 people were injured and 135 were arrested; over 108 stores were damaged. The fundamental causes of the riots were linked to job scarcity, insufficient schooling opportunities, and resentment of police authority.
