John Johnson was Black America's Peter Jennings...he was our champion. He chronicled our history – the happy, the sad, the triumphs and challenges. Whether it was the candor and bravery demonstrated in exposing the world to the horrors of lynching or the enthusiasm and pride shown for Black innovation, Johnson made history while telling our story – the whole story. The Historical Black Press Foundation celebrates his accomplishments and contributions to journalism and society. We join in the nation’s mourning for the loss of this great American role model.

My staff and I send the Johnson family our deepest sympathy. When we think and converse of great African-Americans, the name of Mr. John Johnson ranks at the TOP of the list. Mr. Johnson fought the good fight, and served mankind well. His memory and legacy will continue to flurish for many generations to come. Welcome home, thou good and faithful servant....Take your rest, for a job WELL DONE.

MR. JOHNSON IS AN ICON WHO PERSERVERED AGAINST THE ODDS AND OVERCAME. I AM A PUBLISHER AND WITHOUT HIM, IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO DO WHAT I DO. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU GAVE TO THE WORLD OF BLACK PEOPLE.

I just got finshed viewing the slideshow. It was done very professionally in good taste. Mr. Johnson himself would be proud of it.

I met you at your daughters wedding to Mr. Farr. I was a vocalist in the band and you were so very happy that night. I remember your radiant smile. Thank you Mr. Johnson for giving the African American people a voice, a face and dignity. We will forever miss you and your legacy lives on for generations to build on. You are an angel and want you to know that you are deeply loved and will surely be missed. Sleep well.

Benin Dakar Chronicle salutes the life of John H. Johnson who was the founder and publisher of Ebony and Jet magazines.
Mr. Johnson portrayed African-Americans in a consistently complimentary way that showed the beauty, power, and full potential of black Americans.
Mr. Johnson’s example of excellence we hope will resonate with the new national publication http://theblackamericandiscussion.com/ which will make its debut in February 2006.
Thank you John H. Johnson for a job well done.

I grew up with both Ebony & Jet Magazines. Mr. Johnson was an inspiration to us all and for generations in the future. May God hold onto him as he makes his journey into the hereafter. Rest in Peace!

Since 1957, Johm H. Johnson has been an enigma to me. Honor goes to such a sojourner who excelled in spite of the challenges he faced. Gratitude, great gratitude is expressed for his vision, accomplishments and standard of excellence. Everything must change. Thank you Mr. Johnson for changing my life for the better.
From: Barbara Mohamed on Monday, August 15th 2005
My deepest condolences from The Netherlands, especially to Sylvia Flanagan, Editor of Jet,who worked for and respected Mr. Johnson.
