NJIT Forensic Anthropologist Investigates New Leads to Identify the Nameless

Ever since police ended the 40-year hunt for the Golden State Killer and identified Joseph DeAngelo by uploading crime scene DNA to a popular genealogy website in 2018, advances in DNA forensics have sparked an explosion in once-unsolvable criminal cold cases being resurrected and cracked after a generation.

Juneteenth

Dear NJIT Community Members, Today we observe Juneteenth as a state and national holiday that celebrates and commemorates the day - June 19, 1865 -  that Union General Goardon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announce that enslaved black people were free. In reflecting upon the importance of Juneteenth, we should consider the significance of that moment, which occurred more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, and how it serves as a reminder that, while we have made progress, we have much more work to do.
