The City of Winston-Salem has honored Vic Johnson, a member of the Board of Education, by designating the intersection of Old Greensboro Road and Waterworks Road as "Victor Johnson, Jr. Way" in commemoration of his contributions to the community as an educator, a community servant and as a father.
Johnson is a 1961 graduate of Winston-Salem State University and the vice chair its Board of Trustees.
Johnson was recognized for his years of service to Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools as a teacher and administrator as well as his service on the school system's Board of Education. The city's proclamation also noted Johnson's role as a WSSU student in the civil rights movement of the 1960s when he and other students were involved in the integration of lunch counters in Winston-Salem.
