During a recent government meeting, discussions ranged from local traffic issues to a poignant remembrance of a community figure. The conversation touched on the presence of \"moped gangs\" in the area, highlighting concerns about their compliance with traffic laws. Officials acknowledged the need for enforcement to ensure safety on the roads.
In a more somber note, the meeting paid tribute to Corey Massey, the first African American police officer in Clemson, who recently passed away after a battle with cancer. Attendees reflected on his contributions to the community, noting that he served as a pallbearer at his funeral. Massey was recognized not only for his role in law enforcement but also for his pioneering presence in the community, having been one of the first African Americans to attend Daniel High School during its integration in the 1970s. His career included service with the city police and later with the sheriff's office, before retiring from the university's housing department. The meeting concluded with a collective acknowledgment of his legacy and impact on the community.
