JACKSONVILLE, Fla. As Jacksonville looks at the possibility of renaming several schools in the city that have names tied to the Confederacy, one City Councilman is pushing for the name of Earl Johnson to be placed on a school. Johnson was an African American city leader who was involved in a lot of local and national history, particularly in the 1960s. And also, as well, when MLK would come to Florida, Earl Johnson was his attorney, Carlucci told News4Jax on Sunday. Carlucci said Johnson could realistically have been Jacksonvilles first mayor back when the city decided to consolidate in the late 60s. Earl Johnson gave up the opportunity to probably be Jacksonvilles first Black mayor and instead supported consolidation.
