Tekesha Martinez, Hagerstown’s First Black Mayor
During a special session and by a unanimous vote of the City Council on February 7, 2023, Tekesha Martinez was appointed the first African-American mayor of the City of Hagerstown (Washington County), Maryland. She succeeds Emily Keller who resigned the office to serve as Maryland Special Secretary of Opioid Response for newly elected Governor Wes Moore. Keller had also become the first woman to serve as Mayor in the city’s history.
On Tuesday evening, February 14, 2023 a ceremony was held at the Allegany County Board of Education noting the history of African American education within the county as well as commemorating the first African American students to graduate from an integrated Allegany County high school, this being Fort Hill in May 1956 with the students being Harold Hilton, William Peck and Judy Leath. This was following the 1954 landmark Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas.
