William Johnson upon being freed became a barber apprentice in Natchez town. William’s brother-in-law had a barbershop which he took over in 1830 and later on got married to Amy Battles. They had eleven children. Amy was a free person and just like William was black (National Humanities Center Resource Toolbox, 2007). William Johnson went on to operate several barbershops, owned land, and rented buildings. He also had a bathhouse and regularly loaned white and black people money which was paid at an interest. Like other free blacks in the South, William Johnson owned slaves and at times sold them too. The diary is a record of his daily personal endeavors, majorly about the payment of his debts, the items he bought and the running of his family. William was murdered by a free black man, Baylor Winn, with whom they had a boundary conflict. Despite his murderer being identified, he escaped prosecution since according to his evidence, he was a white man, and so no black man could testify against him (Humanities Center Resource Toolbox, 2007).

The birds sing their hidden language in the distance, suddenly silenced by the man in the shadows…This man greets the swamps of the Mississippi, engulfed in the quiet, in the one place not touched by outside influences. One day, the birds change their tone, for many others have decided to follow him. These people have harsh lines framing their face, callouses on hands that mark years of work. This ramshackle group comes together as one, forging into their own people, for their freedoms were worth life, and even death.
