John H. Johnson: Ebony Founder

It is with sadness we mention the passing of Ebony Magazine's Founder, John H. Johnson, occurring within a few days after the screening of PROUD at "Hollywood in Harlem."

Richard Prince's Journal-isms quotes Howard University School of Communications Dean Jannette Dates, who had just returned from the New York Screening on the legacies of Ossie Davis and Mr. Johnson. You can read John H. Johnson's official biography here.
