Before I retired from teaching,I always mentioned Mr. Peterson when the classes were learning about the History of Perth Amboy. There is a renewed interest in Mr. Peterson's life and historic vote. Last month, Mr. Gordon Bond gave a talk entitled, "To cast a Freedman's Vote: How a handyman from Perth Amboy made Civil Rights history" at the Perth Amboy Tottenville Ferry Slip Museum. Also there is talk about a dig on the site where Mr. Peterson's house once stood. Is there any information you can provide about Mr. Peterson's life or his family?
