Eula Johnson and the Fort Lauderdale Wade-Ins
No full textPrior to the 1961 Wade-ins on Fort Lauderdale Beach, and a landmark district case, public facilities in Broward county were segregated. Eula Johnson was the first woman president of the Broward chapter of the NAACP. Johnson, along with Dr. Von D. Mizell coordinated and organized a series of protests called the Wade-ins in the summer of 1961 to desegregate the beaches. Both faced white supremacist backlash during and after the protests. The City of Fort Lauderdale eventually sued Johnson and Mizell for disturbing the peace during their demonstrations. Johnson and Mizell won their case, which set the precedent for the future desegregation of Broward county. This talk will be led by Janay Joseph and Tara Chadwick on Johnson\u27s legacy, and the work that can be done today within our current political climate. A preview of the documentary short film She Had A Dream: Eula Johnson\u27s Fight to Desegregate Broward County will also be featured, along with a discussion on the research and production of the film.https://nsuworks.nova.edu/exhibit_civilrights/1001/thumbnail.jp

The Rest of the Dream: The Black Odyssey of Lyman Johnson
No full textIn The Rest of the Dream, Lyman Johnson, grassroots civil rights leader, tells his own story. All four of Johnson’s grandparents were slaves in Tennessee. Yet his father was a college graduate, principal of a black school, and the inspiration for his son’s love of justice. Lyman Johnson was born in 1906 during the darkest days of segregation. He learned from his father not to sit in the “crow’s nest” reserved for blacks in his hometown movie theater. This refusal to accept second-class citizenship became a guiding principle in Johnson’s life. Johnson was almost forty-three when he won admission to graduate study at the University of Kentucky in 1949. Crosses were burned on campus. Because of his family commitments, he returned to his teaching position in Louisville and never completed his doctorate. Thirty years later the university that fought to keep him out awarded him an honorary doctor of letters degree. Johnson earned his doctorate the hard way—by saying no to the crow’s nest and other marks of inequality. Johnson’s graphic recall of people and incidents and his storyteller’s talent for narrative make this record of a unique American life filled with suspense, humor, tragedy, and triumph.
Wade Hall is professor of English at Bellarmine College. He is the editor of the Kentucky Poetry Review and has written extensively on southern literature and history.
The compelling reminiscences of an 82-year-old black history teacher and civil rights activist. Johnson tells his story with an impressive mixture of rage and understanding, frustration and hope. Makes for engrossing reading. —Kirkus Reviewshttps://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_african_american_studies/1019/thumbnail.jp
