Hannibal Johnson is a Tulsa-based author and public figure committed to bringing the history of African Americans in Oklahoma to wider audiences and to weaving history and social justice together. That work led to appointments to the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission and to its world-class history center, Greenwood Rising. That future, though, was not necessarily foreseen when growing up in small-town Arkansas.
