CPA Projects – Detailed Report

The project consists of a historical marker in the same shape and design as others in town to preserve the history of Julian Denegal Steele, the first African-American town moderator in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The marker, located in the garden to the left of the Town Hall’s front door, reads, “At this site in 1952 Julian D. Steele was unanimously elected town moderator, becoming the first African-American in the Commonwealth to hold this position.”
