Council member Corey Lesseig, who represents Blackshear’s second district, works as an educator in nearby Brantley County. There he teaches eighth grade Georgia studies and social studies, an appropriate subject for a man with a PhD in history.
Earning his Bachelor of Science and then his masters degree from Truman State in Missouri, it was Lesseig’s love of history that brought him to Ole Miss, the University of Mississippi.
