Marie Johnson Inc.

Hello to everyone I am Unious Johnson the son of Marie Johnson. I have a heavy heart this morning, so with that being said, I'm here to place some unfortunate news. My mom has left us today and joined our heavenly father. In case anyone didn't know she had been recently diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. She was a very strong lady the strongest I've ever known! She never gave up on life, or people! She loved JESUS and her family. So please for me and my family say a prayer for her and send her your love and prayers on her journey! May GOD bless each and every one of you! We love you mom!

The GOP (Grand Old Party) silenced U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren while reading Coretta Scott King's letter opposing the confirmation of Jeff Sessions as a federal district court judge in 1986. Here is the letter in full, the letter they didn't want us to hear.

Early in the twentieth century, the black community in Tulsa- the "Greenwood District"- became a nationally renowned entrepreneurial center. Frequently referred to as "The Black Wall Street of America," the Greenwood District attracted pioneers from all over America who sought new opportunities and fresh challenges. Legal segregation forced blacks to do business among themselves. The Greenwood district prospered as dollars circulated within the black community. But fear and jealousy swelled in the greater Tulsa community. The alleged assault of a white woman by a black man triggered unprecedented civil unrest. The worst riot in American history, the Tulsa Race Riot pf 1921 destroyed people, property, hopes, and dreams. Hundreds of people died or were injured. Property damage ran into the millions. The Greenwood District burned to the ground. Ever courageous, the Greenwood District pioneers rebuilt and better than ever. By 1942, some 242 businesses called the Greenwood district home. Having experienced decline in the '60s, '70s, and early '80s, the area is now poised for yet another renaissance. Black Wall Street speaks to the triumph of the human spirit.
