Congratulations to Chief Justice Bernette J. Johnson, C'64, on the release of her new bestselling book, Behind the Gavel. Behind the Gavel tells the story of Chief Justice Johnson, a pioneering jurist, civil rights advocate, and trailblazing leader who became the first African American to serve as Chief Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court. Through historical photographs, personal reflections, and leadership lessons, the book chronicles her journey and the lasting impact she has made on Louisiana's legal landscape while paving the way for future generations. Her story is a testament to the courage, resilience, and leadership that define Spelman women. Join us in celebrating Chief Justice Johnson and this extraordinary achievement.
My latest, a reflection on Pocahontas Island's past and a peek into its future. Special thanks to Mrs. Kelley, Mrs. Cox and Ms. Green for introducing me to their island, one of the first free Black communities in America. RIP Mr. Richard A. Stewart, community historian and hero.
