Troy Johnson was Honored by the Center for Black Literature

[Troy]

A Jubilant Time Indeed at the Center for Black Literature’s 20th Anniversary!

 

“It’s terrific to see so many friends and what really feels like family!” said Johnson. “It’s always a great thing to be honored by the people you’re really trying to serve. It’s been almost 25 years to the day––October of 1997––that I started, and I would never have thought it would be my livelihood. And being honored for it is just unimaginable!”
