Today In History John H. Johnson was without question the most important force in African-American publishing in the twentieth century and has been credited with almost single-handedly opening the commercial magazine marketplace for African Americans. For decades he entertained and educated the public with Ebony and Jet, the magazines that form the basis of the Johnson Publishing empire. Johnson was born January 19, 1918, in Arkansas City, Arkansas. There would not be a CARTER™ Magazine if it wasn’t for John H. Johnson.
