Friends of John H. Johnson Museum and the American Red Cross of Greater Arkansas presented at Gardner-Strong Elementary School this past Tuesday, March 26, to 4th - 6th grade students about flooding preparedness and the 1927 Flood.
Friends of John H. Johnson Museum, curators of the life and legacy of John H. Johnson distributed their debut children's book, Johnny Was His Name: The Boy Who Grew Up To Become John H. Johnson.
Johnny Was His Name shares the story of a nine-year-old Johnny Johnson, as he lived with his mother and Arkansas City residents, on top of the Arkansas City Levee for six weeks during the 1927 Flood. Johnny Was His Name is an encouraging story of hope and perseverance in uncertain times. It's a story of a boy named Johnny Johnson before he would become John H. Johnson, the founder and publisher of Johnson Publishing Company and the iconic Ebony and Jet magazines.
Jameriah Eni, Disaster Program Specialist for the American Red Cross of Greater Arkansas gave students a lesson on how to prepare for a flood, and tips on helping to keep their family flood aware and safe.
