George E. Johnson built more than a hair care empire. He built proof that a $250 loan and the will to keep going can put a Black-owned company on the American Stock Exchange for the first time in history. That is the American dream, realized on our own terms. Afro Sheen. Ultra Sheen. Those weren't just products. They told us our hair, our look, our culture was worth celebrating. Mr. Johnson has passed at 99, but what he built keeps building. Rest in power.
