PERRY, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — Perry is celebrating Black History Month with a banner project. The project recognizes 74 African Americans who have made an impact on the city.
Sedrick Swan — director of leisure services for the city— is one of 74 honorees for the city’s Black History Month banner project. We spoke with Swan about his reaction to being one of the recipients.
“I was extremely honored and proud to see it and I felt that it was a great way to acknowledge others in the city,” said Swan.
The project was lead by Councilwoman Phyllis Bynum-Grace. We spoke with Anya Turpin, special events manager for the city. She worked with Councilwoman Bynum-Grace on the project. She says it gave her the opportunity to learn more about Black history.
