Christine and Byron Johnson
Brief History: Following the death of longtime educator Christine Johnson in 1998, a series of events were set up to honor her. The community’s response to our efforts was overwhelming. With the help of Reverend Gil Caldwell, then-pastor of Park Hill Methodist Church in Denver, we started Johnson Legacy to honor Christine AND Byron. Christine’s decades long commitment to underserved students in Denver Public Schools and Byron’s legacy as an All Star shortstop for the Kansas City Monarchs in the Negro Leagues, inform the mission and the means. We affirm that art is provocation and education is invitation. And we affirm that everyone should have access to both.
