Every spring, just in time for Patriots Day, Lexingtonâs Colonial-era house museums throw open their doors and welcome visitors to tours run by the Lexington Historical Society. One such property is the Hancock-Clarke House, where guides describe the pivotal role the house holds in US history: Once the townâs parsonage, it was here that overnight guests John Hancock and Samuel Adams were awakened by Paul Revere in the early hours of April 19, 1775, just before the first battle of the American Revolution.

To celebrate National Engineers Week and Women’s History Month, Sean Osborne, President of the Association of Black Citizens of Lexington, interviewed Victoria Suber, LHS Class of 2013. Ms. Suber received her Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Temple University in 2017. She has passed the Fundamentals in Engineering Exam, the first of two examinations that engineers must pass in order to be licensed as a Professional Engineer in the United States. PE licensure is the engineering profession s highest standard of competence, a symbol of achievement and assurance of quality.
Less than 2 percent of Black freshmen in the United States enter college engineering programs. According to the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), 3,500 African-Americans earned engineering bachelor’s degrees in 2014.
