In this biographical memoir of Jannie B. Johnson, Mamie B. Crockett reviewed hundreds of Mrs. Johnson’s articles, read her instructional booklets and radio messages, interviewed family members and conversed with former students and friends to fully establish the mosaic life story of Jannie Ballard Johnson. From the oral histories of her ancestors, Mrs. Johnson internalized how they held firmly to their faith through slavery, untimely deaths in the family, and financial hardship. In addition to Mrs. Johnson’s life story and teachings, this book records highlights from radio and TV shows, letters to her precious ones and excerpts from local newspaper articles published to stimulate the minds of community stakeholders to take a stand or to act. Parents and grandparents, youth leaders and teachers will most assuredly gain insight from her principle-centered guidelines, inspirational self-help messages, and purposeful-living lifestyle.
