Honors Thomas Mundy Peterson for being first African American to vote following ratification of 15th Amendment to US Constitution.

This Senate Resolution honors Thomas Mundy Peterson, the first African American to vote in the United States following the ratification of the 15th Amendment. The bill formally recognizes his historic vote cast in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, on March 31, 1870, and acknowledges his subsequent civic engagement including jury service and political participation. The resolution directs that copies be sent to the Mayor of Perth Amboy and a Peterson descendant, serving as an official commemorative acknowledgment rather than establishing new policy requirements.
