Colonel Stone Johnson, born on the 9th of september in 1918, was a black worker in the civil rights movement who served as a bodyguard for homes, businesses, and people involved in the movement.
A railway worker and union representative by trade, he got involved in the civil rights movement in Birmingham, Alabama in the mid 1950s, working with Fred Shuttlesworth. He started a civil rights organization called the Civil Rights Guards that protected homes and business involved in the movement, usually while armed.
Among Johnson's notable acts was helping carry a Ku Klux Klan bomb away from Bethel Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL and serving as a bodyguard to Martin Luther King Jr. He also provided armed protection to non-violent activists in Anniston, Alabama during the 1961 Freedom Rides, rescuing them from a segregationist mob.
An oft-repeated remark of Johnson, when asked how he managed to protect civil rights leaders, given his commitment to non-violence, Johnson replied, "With my non-violent .38 special."
