She may look familiar to you, but do you know her story? Mrs. Massey, currently an Assistant Principal at Camden Middle School, came to speak to the 5th graders at Mamie Lou Gross about her experience during the Civil Rights Movement during the 1960s while attending college in Atlanta, GA. She also told the students about the time she marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. We are thankful for the time she took to speak with our students who were certainly engaged in her presentation.
