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.

A week after part of the outer wall collapsed, a construction team has been assessing damage to the Wawenock Block, a fixture of Wiscasset’s Main Street for more than a century. No one was injured when bricks from the second story came crashing down, covering the sidewalk April 3.
“We feel optimistic that the immediate public safety concerns have been addressed and abated. Given the original collapse, however, we’re keeping a very close eye on everything,” wrote Ralph Doering III of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, the building’s owner. Doering’s statement was released Friday afternoon, April 9 in an email forwarded to Wiscasset Newspaper from Mark Robinson of MainePR. Robinson stated he is serving as spokesman for Doering.
