Margaret Moseley (1901–1997) was a civil rights activist. Born in Dedham, she initially planned on being a nurse but was turned away from nursing programs in Boston due to racial discrimination. In the 1940s, she helped found the Cooperative Way, a consumers' cooperative in Boston, as well as being a founding member of the Freedom House in Roxbury. She was also part of the local NAACP branch in Massachusetts. Moseley also assisted with voting rights' and registration campaigns in Selma, Alabama in 1965 and served as Massachusetts legislative chair for the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF).
