Memoirs of the Johnson Family

I just finished reading a book, Memiors of the Johnson Family, by a Bemidji author Mary Ellen Johnson.  This book is about moving their family from Bemidji to Philadelphia,  Mississippi during the racial strife that our country went through.They were in Mississippi  from 1968 to 1973.
Gary Johnson worked in law enforcement on the Red Lake Reservation.   He was relocated on the Choctaw Reservation in Mississippi. The book is written in short stories about their life and adjustments that they all had to make.  It is a very good read.  On November 28th we get to talk to the author about the families experiences.
