Willie Johnson
Granddaughter of a slave.
Rejected by her father.
Sold by her mother.

How did she rise above abuse, social stigma, and cultural limitations to step with anointing and confidence into pulpits all across America with her majestic cape swirling about her shoulders?
From the 1930s to the 1980s, Sister Willie’s powerful ministry intermingled song, Scripture, and a unique demonstration of spiritual gifts that were unusual in her day. Everywhere she ministered, she was beloved and highly esteemed, and lives were changed.
