Description
At the front of the house, opposite the porch, Brian and Melissa sit where the five Johnson children (and sometimes neighborhood kids) used to learn about oratory, debate, and civic participation from their schoolteacher mother, Rebekah Baines Johnson. Education was her passion -- she was one of the few college educated women in the area. All five of her children would go to college.
