Interviewer: Roger Smith | 12:00 – 1:00 pm | Wednesday, March 29

Witness to the waning years of Jim Crow and first-hand participant in Savannah’s Civil Rights Movement, the young Black man who would become Mayor lived and experienced the dramatic changes in his beautiful southern city. TLC director Roger Smith sits down for a one-on-one exchange with the man whose biography says it all: From the “N Word” to Mr. Mayor.

Copies of Dr. Johnson’s biography are available for sale at the lecture.

Dr. Johnson’s lecture is presented in cooperation with the Savannah-Yamacraw Branch of the Association for the Study of African-American Life and History (ASALH).

Presented in person at The Learning Center; subsequently released in a virtual format
