Ebony magazine, Volume LX, Number 12. This edition honors the life of John H. Johnson, the founder of Johnson Publishing Company, publisher of Ebony magazine. The front cover features a photographic portrait of Johnson. Johnson stands with his forearms resting on the back of an orange-red upholstered chair, looking at the camera. He is wearing a blue-gray suit, white shirt, and a red patterned tie. His hands are clasped in front of him and a gold cuff link can be seen on his proper left sleeve. Johnson stands in front of a blurry brown background. Behind his head, in the upper left corner, the publication mast head, a red partially obscured banner, outlined in white with white block lettering that reads: [EBONY] with the letters [NY] completely obscured.
