A Steady Hand in Clayton County: The Life, Leadership, and Legacy of First Gentlemen Steven Henry

Steven Henry Sr. did not step into leadership through title or attention. His influence was shaped early—through service learned at home, mentorship practiced in a barbershop, and consistency lived across family, faith, and community. As Clayton County’s first First Gentleman, his role is historic, but his leadership is rooted in something older: showing up, staying present, and building quietly where it matters most.
