Selectmen and other residents debated Tuesday night over a proposed plaque honoring a poet-civil rights advocate who died in a 1938 Wiscasset car-train crash. The board voted 3-2 to have resident Lucia Droby get the board a cost to consider giving voters to decide in an already anticipated special town meeting this summer.
“(James Weldon Johnson) was doing his work during the Jim Crow era (when) it was very dangerous to be a person of color, particularly a black man, and he devoted his life to serving his arts but also to struggling for racial justice, and we’re in a moment that values that effort,” Droby said in the Zoom meeting.
