Gloria Lavera Fox was born on March 18, 1942. Raised as a foster child, she attended Boston and Everett public schools. After high school, she took college classes whenever she could, as well as completed the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Community Fellows Program. As a single mother of two young sons, she moved into the Whittier Street Housing Development in Roxbury. She worked there as a community organizer, but her real start as an activist began when she joined the movement to stop a section of Interstate-95 from running through her neighborhood. In a 2010 interview, she said of that time, “Some people thought that it could never be done. No one’s ever fought a major interstate highway and won. That would have been a first, but we were determined that it was going to be the first”. They did stop the highway and Fox remained dedicated to Roxbury. She was active on the Roxbury Strategic Master Plan Committee and the Roxbury Trust Fund Committee. She was also committed to the success of Roxbury Community College and the continued development of the Southwest Corridor.
Fox, a Democrat, first ran for public office in 1984, when she decided to challenge 7th Suffolk District incumbent Doris Bunte. She lost but ran again in 1986 when Bunte retired. She won and represented the 7th Suffolk District, which extends from Audubon Circle near Boston University to parts of Back Bay, the Fenway and Roxbury, for the next thirty years. In a 2013 Women in Government profile, Fox wrote, “As a State Representative, I have faithfully served the people of the Seventh Suffolk District for over 27 years. My work has always been guided by the input of the residents of my District. Throughout my adult life, I have advocated for the concerns of children and families and for human, social, and economic development issues brought forth by those constituents who need to be heard”. Fox believed in inclusionary politics, which is reflected in her legislative work on criminal justice reform, child welfare and foster care, redistricting, Election Day voter registration, and eliminating health disparities in communities of color.
As a State Representative, Fox served on the House Committee on Redistricting; the House Committee on Rules; the House Committee on Steering, Policy and Scheduling; the House Committee on Ways and Means; House Personnel and Administration; the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing; the Joint Committee on Housing; the Joint Committee on Public Service; the Joint Committee on Revenue; the Joint Committee on Rules; the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy; the Joint Committee on Veterans and Federal Affairs; and the Joint Committee on Ways and Means. She served as a Vice Chair for the House Committee on Rules, House Personnel and Administration, the Joint Committee on Elder Affairs, the Joint Committee on Housing, and the Joint Committee on Rules.
State Library of Massachusetts – Special Collections Department Guide to Ms. Coll. 168 – Gloria L. Fox Papers Page 2 of 54 Fox was a member of the Boston Delegation of the Massachusetts Legislature, the Massachusetts Caucus of Women Legislators, the Massachusetts Black and Latino Legislative Caucus, and the National Black Caucus of State Legislators. She was actively involved in the community as a member of the Urban League Guild of Eastern Massachusetts, the NAACP, the MIT Community Fellows Program Alumnae Association, and the Women’s Service Club. She was also the founder of the Massachusetts Million Women March Movement.
When Fox retired from her seat in 2016, she was the longest-serving woman on Beacon Hill. Throughout her long career, she lived by her motto: “If you have a purpose in which you can believe, there’s no end to the amount of things you can accomplish” (Marian Anderson).

Series II: Legislative Files, 1986-2015
Series II Subseries A: Criminal Justice Legislation, 1989-2015 Scope and Content Criminal justice reform was one of Fox’s main focuses as a legislator. This sub-series documents the work that she did in the community and in the State House to improve existing legislation and to create new laws that protected citizens without adversely affecting communities of color. Her main areas of concern included CORI (Criminal Offender Record Information) reform, juvenile justice, habitual offenders and the 3 Strikes Bill, and ex-offenders. She also worked on other issues, such as racial profiling in the law enforcement community and the Massachusetts Trial Courts, mandatory minimums, visitation rights, sentencing laws, teen violence, improvement in the Department of Corrections, and issues for incarcerated women. In addition, Fox was part of several commissions on Community Safety, Crime & Violence, and Criminal Justice Reform, as well as part of a long-running campaign to secure a commutation for Arnold King, a man serving a life-sentence for a crime committed when he was a teenager. Records include correspondence, memos, meeting agendas and minutes, reports, and draft bills.
