At the June 14, 2022 Strasburg Borough Council meeting, Council heard a request from the family of former Strasburg Borough resident, Judge Herbert Millen regarding a request that a historical marker be placed at his former residence to honor his accomplishments.  Judge Millen was the first African American judge in Pennsylvania and only the thirteenth in the country at that time.  He was also the first African American admitted to Strasburg High School and went on to become valedictorian.  Other accomplishments were discussed and Council President, Mike Chiodo, said the Borough will pursue placing a marker at the site.
