Hello, this school was named after my maternal grandfather, the Rev. Vernon Johns, a civil rights leader who laid the groundwork for the American Civil Rights Movement. He was also the first African-American preacher to have a sermon published. You can read about him here: http://www.answers.com/vernon%20johns I would also suggest renting "Road to Freedom: The Vernon Johns Story" starring James Earl Jones to learn more about him. Take care!
