As a native of Hampton, GA. my family has called Hampton home for 8 generations. During which time our long line of service to the City of Hampton includes; my grandfather Willie "Billy" Taylor who worked 30 years for the city, to my Uncle's Willie Ralph Taylor who served as the 1st African American Police Officers & Mack Taylor who served in Public Works. It is the love of our community that they all served and I continue to do so for that reason.
