Charles Johnson‘s Civil Rights Activity in Meridian, Mississippi 58 Chapter 3. Charles Johnson‘s Impact on the Church of the Nazarene and Meridian, Mississippi 97 Conclusion 116 Appendix 118 Bibliography 138 Abstract Charles Johnson, an African American minister in the predominately white denomination of the Church of the Nazarene, was a leader in the civil rights movement in Meridian, Mississippi. He had to navigate the rather conservative leanings of his denomination and predominance of Jim Crow segregation in Meridian. Johnson had a profound impact on the struggle for equality in Meridian, but he, unfortunately, could not exhibit the same degree of influence on the Church of the Nazarene. This work examines the difficulties and successes of Johnson as a churchman and an activist.

TABLE OF CONTENTS MAYOR’S LETTER 04 CITY COUNCIL 05 POLICE 11 FIRE 13 PUBLIC SAFETY & TRAINING 15 FINANCE & RECORDS 17 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 21 PUBLIC WORKS 23 PARKS & RECREATION 25 CITY OF MERIDIAN 2017 Annual Report 2 To the PEOPLE OF MERIDIAN The City of Meridian, like most cities across the country, has many challenges relating to poverty, aging infrastructure, and competition with online retail, but our opportunities are endless. We have been working diligently to improve the quality of life in our community by increasing our number of officers for public safety, working with numerous agencies for employment opportunities, and focusing on projects that will bring jobs and open the doors to the creative economy. In 2017, the Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Experience began to rise up on the corner of 22nd Avenue and Front Street, John Tampa and Ascent Hospitality crossed the final hurdles with the U.S. Department of the Interior to begin transforming the Threefoot Building into a hotel, and work began to improve our entranceway and streetscape on 22nd Avenue and the interstate. We are finding our cadence as a city, marching to the same beat, and moving forward as a community. Partnerships are becoming stronger, businesses are uniting, and our school systems and institutions of higher learning are collaborating now more than ever. The year 2018 will be a year of challenge and opportunity. We will be focusing on enhancing livability by fixing our sidewalks around downtown and along our main thoroughfares while continuing to make huge strides with our LED lighting initiative.

We work daily to create the culture of quality healthcare, philanthropic service and hometown support that makes Anderson a household name. The Anderson “brand” is a constant reminder of this vision, as illustrated Aby the symbols in our logo. To create the now-familiar shield icon for Anderson Regional Health System, a fundamental question was addressed — what makes Anderson “ Anderson ?” What differentiates Dr. John Clay us within the market and, more importantly, the community? The conclusion, on the most basic level, is the name, Anderson. “Anderson” is our first identifier in this community. But what is reflected in that name? What symbol conveys our legacy? Throughout this year’s annual report, we will tell you the story behind our brand — why our icon’s shield, medical cross, Christian cross and healing waves help us keep our mission — to continue our heritage of healing and improving life for the people we serve — at the forefront of everything we do.
