In last Friday’s Morning Fax we featured a photo of Junior McCowan receiving a plaque from Athens Police Chief Cliff Couch. Our story said McCowan was being recognized because he was the first African-American police officer in Athens. That is incorrect. Actually, he was the second black officer. The first was Elbert Lane.
