Today's Episode: A Special Tribute to Carolyn Johnson 

 

Carolyn Yvonne Johnson, of Brooklyn, NY, passed away on April 24, 2014. She was born in Austin, Texas, on September 11, 1949, and raised in San Antonio, TX, and Las Cruces, NM. Carolyn lived a full life; she was a college professor at Hostos Community College in the nursing department as well as a nurse anesthetist at Kings County Hospital. Her students greatly admired her and attributed their successful journeys through the nursing program to her. At the time of her death, she was working on a doctorate degree in Public Health, with a concentration on adolescent health of Hispanic and African-American teenage girls.

Carolyn's passion was documentary filmmaking. Her tribute to the perseverance of a cultural tradition "Juneteenth Community", took eight years to complete. The testimonials of the current participants in this event, and their poignant recollections of those past, inspired the need to record the dynamics and significance of a century-old continuous expression of culture. Carolyn’s documentary won critical acclaim, and received an award in the category of community video from the Black Filmmakers Hall Of Fame in Oakland, California, on October 7th, 2000.

She loved to travel and spoke three different languages because of her travels and love of different cultures. Her travels took her to places such as Nigeria, Mexico, Martinique, and her favorite spot, Canada.

Samiyyah Saafir-Muhammad was born Jacqueline Glover in New York City in 1951. After spending her early years in foster care, moving four times before the age of three, she settled in with her aunt, following her father’s passing.

While still in elementary school Samiyyah took an interest in helping other students do well, joining “The Future Teachers’ Club” in the fifth grade. As a high school student, Samiyyah became aware her people’s struggle for freedom—witnessing civil rights demonstrations, protests, assassinations and riots—and decided she wanted to help somehow.  It was in this atmosphere that she went off to Northeastern University in Boston where she majored in Education. Her stay there was short-lived, however, as she was introduced to the teachings of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad and thereafter joined the Nation of Islam. Within the Nation of Islam’s Muhammad University, Samiyyah underwent educational training and worked as a teacher’s assistant.

Since 2005, Samiyyah has had the privilege of serving as the Directress at Muhammad University of Islam in Atlanta, which serves students from Pre-K to the eighth grade. She has been blessed to carry on the 84-year educational tradition, which was started by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and his brave followers in the 1930’s.

A widow after 35 years of marriage, Samiyyah presently enjoys the blessing of her and her husband’s nine children: six sons and three daughters, all of whom attended or are attending HBCUs. Samiyyah has been a mother to not only her nine children, but also to her two stepchildren, her nieces and nephews, her eight grandchildren and countless other children and adults in the community who come to her for advice, wisdom and guidance. Affectionately called MamaMiyyah, Samiyyah’s house is never empty
