Publisher's Synopsis
Before Martin Luther King or Malcolm X, Vernon Johns spoke out against segregation and racial hatred in America. Described as "God's Bad Boy", Johns fought for the equal treatment of blacks long before the Civil Rights Movement. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. described him this way: "A fearless man, he never allowed an injustice to come to his attention without speaking out against it." UNHEARD OF is committed to telling the stories of lesser known black Americans who made significant contributions to history.
