KMOV revisits LaVena Johnson story

St. Louis CBS affiliate KMOV-TV ran a story last night on the case of PFC LaVena Johnson. Reported by Matt Sczesny, the story features new comments by LaVena’s father, Dr. John Johnson, as he spoke at a press conference yesterday. Also mentioned is a response from a staffer for the House Armed Services Committee.

This is a good time to mention once more that the Gateway Greens Alliance and the Universal African Peoples Organization are sponsoring a panel discussion on LaVena Johnson tonight at 7 pm at Legacy Books & Cafe, 5249 Delmar (near Union) in St. Louis. Those panelists:

  • Lionel Nixon, African Newsworld newspaper [moderator]
  • Dr. John Johnson, father of LaVena Johnson
  • Redditt Hudson, American Civil Liberties Union
  • Michael McPhearson, Veterans For Peace

I’ll be in attendance, and will write it up on the blog tomorrow.

Also: The aforementioned press conference was reported in a story by Elizabethe Holland for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
