When Martin Luther King Jr.
visited George Johnson's factory on the south side of Chicago with its black chemists and executives, King declared, now this is black power.
When Johnson saw a local dance program for black teens that was broadcast in black and white, it was Johnson's idea and money that took Soul Train National.
With the success of Afrosheen and Soul Train, Johnson's Johnson Products Company was the first black firm to be listed on a major U.S.
stock exchange.
His money kept Martin Luther King's organization afloat.
And Jesse Jackson's Operation Push had its origins in the Johnson Products cafeteria.
According to his family, George Johnson died of respiratory failure in Chicago.
He was 99.
