RIP Judge Johnson 😪🏛🙏

It is with great sadness, we announce the passing of a Seattle Civil Rights icon, Hon. Charles V. Johnson, ret. His advocacy legacy spans more than half a century from the local to national level.

In 2005, UW Seattle Civil Rights and Labor History Project interviewed Charles V. Johnson about coming to Seattle in 1954 and his life in the Evergreen State since then. His interview can be found at https://depts.washington.edu/civilr/johnson.htm
