The City of Waterloo’s Historic Preservation Commission announced Tuesday proposed locations for seven civil rights markers throughout the city. All seven of the sites have been chosen to represent significant African Americans and their contributions to the City of Waterloo, dating back to the early days of the community. These markers would display information about each location’s significance to the city. A grant allowed the city’s Historic Preservation Commission, as well as Thomas Zahn and Associates, to begin working on the project. Among the locations are East High School, and Furgerson-Fields Park.
