Olivet Baptist Church, St. Paul’s AME And St. Paul’s Episcopal Host Conversation About The Ed Johnson Project

  • Monday, January 8, 2018

Olivet Baptist Church, St. Paul’s AME and St. Paul’s Episcopal invite the public to a community conversation in support of the Ed Johnson Project as they work to bring healing and reconciliation to the city through dialogue and film.

The event will be from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, at Olivet Baptist Church, Kingdom Center (behind the Urban League), 740 E. ML King Boulevard.

The Ed Johnson Story is a historical documentary that brings to light a series of incredible and tragic events in the first and only criminal trial ever held by the United States Supreme Court. The Ed Johnson Project is a unique Chattanooga project that has the potential to change and unite our community. At its core, the project is built on remembering the Ed Johnson story by creating a memorial which acknowledges the lynching of Ed Johnson, honors the courageous work of his attorneys, and recognizes the resulting U.S. Supreme Court case. In addition to creating a public space, the project is helping to fund a documentary, a scholarship and create a website with all known information about the project.
