Vernon Johns

Before Martin Luther King or Malcolm X, Vernon Johns spoke out against racism and discrimination in America. Described as ‘God’s Bad Boy’, Johns fought for equal treatment of Black Americans long before the Civil Rights Movement. ‘A fearless man, he never allowed an injustice to come to his attention without speaking out against it.’ -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
