About History On Wheels Founder - Luther E. Johnson Jr.
The idea for History On Wheels was conceived by Luther E. Johnson Jr. and a friend of his. Luther was born in Chicago and raised on the west side of Chicago and in Shreveport, LA. He currently resides in Joliet, IL. He fell in love with history at the very early age of 10. His mother bought him the Time Life magazine series of the Civil War. From there he became an avid reader on the topic and his love for it has been a big part of his life ever since. Luther has been featured in several documentaries, movies, and publications: The 370th Fighting on Both Fronts, When to Die, and The 24TH Infantry. Often found acting and speaking about the roles that African American men have played in history while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.
