In 1997, at the urging of then Cherry Hill Mayor Susan Bass-Levin, Joyce Alexander Walker became the first African American elected to the Cherry Hill Township Council in New Jersey. She was already active on the township planning board and was a member of the Cherry Hill African American Civic Association.
