Meet Patricia Payne
Patricia True Payne (Pat) is SSAAM's foremost donor and a current board member. After spending several years living and working in Massachusetts, she relocated back home to New Jersey. Patricia is a descendant of Friday Truehart, one of the earliest African American settlers in the Sourland Mountain Region, who gained his freedom in 1819.
