Emanuel (Manny) Johnson, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said whatever career you chose, be the best at it that you can be. I am living proof that Jim was the best Attorney he could be. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), my employer, did not take kindly to me objecting to an article in the Law Enforcement Bulletin (LEB), distributed worldwide to LE professionals that directed FBI Supervisors to watch and document women and minority employees closely, so that when you dismissed them and they challenged their dismissal, the FBI would have the documentation to sustain the dismissal. At the end of the next performance appraisal period (PAR), I was rated minimally acceptable (MA) in 4 of my 5 rating areas. I subsequently appealed and won. FBIHQ admonished my rating Officials and ordered them to have me sign the admonishment for return to FBIHQ. Shortly thereafter, my immediate superiors prepared a false document, presented it to me with an offer to resign rather than suffer the embarrassment of termination. I refused their offer and retired 16 years later. God directed me to Jim. He took my case and that is why I am not currently HANGING outside FBIHQ at 9th & Pennsylvania Ave, NW, WDC. Even though, I was have been mummified by now, they would still have me there as a deterrent to others. I will forever be grateful to Jim. Rest in Peace my brother. You have fought the good fight. Manny
