From small-town beginnings in McMinnville to a 26-year career in the U.S. Air Force, James “Mickey” Gwyn’s journey is all about determination and heart. As a student, he helped spark change by leading efforts for his school’s first-ever Black History Week during a pivotal time in the mid 70's. He went on to become a Chief Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force, traveling the world and mentoring others along the way. Today, as Director of the Black History Museum of Warren County, Gwyn is bringing that same passion home—preserving history, inspiring others, and keeping his community connected.
