At the Thursday, June 4 regular City Council meeting, Mayor Allegood was honored to present a proclamation to Mr. Claude Johnson in celebration of his 90th birthday on June 15, 2026! Affectionately known as the “Mayor of Logan Farm Park,” Mr. Johnson is a life-long resident of Acworth and an integral part of the community. After attending the Acworth Rosenwald School through the 7th grade, Mr. Johnson went on to organize and coach Acworth’s first African-American youth baseball team, providing transportation and covering team expenses for the players. He has also faithfully served his church on the Trustee Board and Deacon Board for over 30 years; and he and his wife, Willa Mae, were awarded the Save Acworth History Foundation’s Nancy Smith Maxwell Award in 2021 for their joint efforts in preserving the heritage and history of the City of Acworth. Mayor Allegood, the Board of Alderman, and the entire City team are incredibly grateful to Mr. Claude Johnson for his numerous contributions to the Acworth community, and wish him a very happy 90th birthday!
