Luzell Johnson

Luzell Johnson left a factory job in Alabama for a much higher-paying one as a cement finisher at Hanford. His wife later joined him, and they bought a house in Hanford; like many Hanford workers, Johnson settled in the area after the war. Johnson, an African American, recalls segregation, work, and social life at Hanford.
