ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - Albany Police Chief Michael Persley presented the Citizen of the Year Award on Wednesday.
Makeba Wright helped the Albany Police Department at the beginning of the pandemic.
âSo, I heard one of my close friends in law enforcement was in the hospital and my heart dropped. I was trying to think of something that I can personally do to help the community. So, I made some phone calls and found out they needed masks. So, I started making masks,â said Wright.
