The Johnson Family has been fighting for justice for nearly 12 year for the murder of high school sophomore Kendrick Johnson. He was found dead from severe injuries along with evidence of a two-prong stun gun use. His body was discovered inside of a tumbling mat inside the Lowndes County High School gymnasium. The Georgia Bureau of Investigations contends Kendrick had no significant injuries and died from a “freak” accident.

Kenneth Johnson will speak about their historic civil rights lawsuit against Georgia authorities currently in the 11th circuit Court of appeals and all the irregularities Mr Johnson and his wife continue to experience.

Jonathan Burrs, the Johnson family spokesperson and civil rights advocate will speak on the status of civil rights for African Americans in the United States, the challenges, and the documented pervasive corruption in the federal judiciary.
