State Representative Carl Gilliard (D-Savannah), chair of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus, will host a road dedication event in honor of the Frances Bright Johnson Interchange on Monday, September 23, 2024, from 10 to 11 a.m. at the Progressive Recreation Center in Savannah.

“Frances Bright Johnson is a long-time civil rights and labor union leader, who served her community well,” said Rep. Gilliard. “It is because of her contributions to the civil rights movement that we are able to benefit from her sacrifice.”
