Today we are taking a trip to James J. Ferris High School, in downtown Jersey City, to visit the Clarence Fitch Walkway. Clarence Fitch graduated from Ferris High School in 1967 before joining the Marines and fighting in the Vietnam War. Fitch was awarded a purple heart for his service overseas, and continued to serve his community when he returned home. Fitch became a civil rights activist, an anti war spokesman, a mentor to the city's youth, as well as a substance abuse counselor. In 2021 the walkway between James J. Ferris’ main building and the Ferris Junior Academy (formerly PS #9) was named in honor of Clarence Fitch to remember his service to Jersey City. #clarencefitch #FerrisHS
