This weekend, a clip of presidential candidate Joe Biden recalling his time as a Wilmington lifeguard in the 1960s went viral.
WILMINGTON — Yes,"Corn Pop" is a real person.
Biden told the story of Corn Pop at the naming ceremony event in 2017. The former vice president recalled that Morris was not wearing a swim cap, which was required of swimmers at the time who had pomade in their hair. Biden told Morris to get off the diving board and kicked him out of the pool.The two exchanged words, according to Biden, which resulted in a confrontation near the parking lot. Biden said Corn Pop and two others had straight razors in their hand.
During the 2017 naming ceremony, Biden said he wanted to work at the pool because he wanted to"get more involved" with the black community in Wilmington.
