Floyd L. Griffin Jr. has led a remarkable life dedicated to public service and breaking barriers. He made history as the first African American elected to the Georgia State Senate from a predominantly white district in the Twenty-fifth legislative district. Griffin later became the first African American mayor of Milledgeville, Georgia, a position he held from 2002 to 2006. Throughout his career, Griffin has defied expectations, including his run for Lieutenant Governor of Georgia in 1998, marking him as the first African American to campaign for that office in modern times. Griffin's journey spans diverse roles and achievements: from his service as a Vietnam War helicopter pilot and Army Colonel to his tenure as a professor and football coach. In academia, he taught at institutions such as Wake Forest University and served as ROTC director at Winston-Salem State University. His military career saw him commanding units under General Norman Schwarzkopf and serving at the Pentagon. Beyond his political and military achievements, Griffin's commitment to public service is exemplified by his advocacy work, including serving on the Board of Directors for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Floyd Griffin's life story is a testament to perseverance, leadership, and dedication to community and country.
