Bishop Johnie Johnson reflects on his early life growing up in Summerton, South Carolina, where his family lived and worked as sharecroppers on a plantation. They farmed to provide their own food, raised chickens, and made do with what they had—even creating light using a soda bottle. His oldest brother later moved to Goose Creek, South Carolina, for work, and the plantation owner helped relocate the family to the Marrington Plantation.
