Black in America: When Survival Wasn’t Enough

These aren’t just videos. They’re names I carry. Stories that still stay with me. And in this video, I want to tell you why.

🕊️Storytelling & Mission Approach 🕊️
This channel shares historical stories based on scholarly research, archival records, legal
documents, and public sources. Some episodes reference difficult or painful parts of the
past. These stories are presented for educational purposes, with care and respect for those
whose experiences are remembered. Our goal is to educate, preserve memory, and foster
deeper understanding — never to shock or sensationalize.

🏢 About Julian Johnson 🏢
The Law Office of Julian Johnson is a Chicago-based civil rights firm dedicated to
seeking justice for those who have been wronged. We represent victims of police
misconduct, personal injury, and wrongful death. But this channel is about more than
just legal cases — it’s about history. It’s about truth. It’s about telling the stories of Black
life in America — especially the lives history tried to bury and the law refused to protect.

Through these videos, our firm is committed to helping the public understand the deeper
patterns of racial injustice — exposing legal abandonment, confronting the harms Black
communities have endured, and preserving memory through storytelling. Because
justice isn’t only about what happens in the courtroom. It’s also about what we choose
to remember.

🕯️The Memory Justice Project 🕯️
The Memory Justice Project is a research and storytelling initiative led by civil rights attorney Julian Johnson — committed to honoring those who lived and died in injustice, the ones history tried to bury and the law abandoned.

Every video is grounded in historical research, legal context, and moral clarity. We tell these stories to preserve memory, restore dignity, and confront a past that still echoes today. If you’ve felt the weight of these stories — and believe in the truth they hold — you can support the work directly on Patreon: patreon.com/JulianJohnsonLaw
