Billy Johnson
Billy Johnson is an educator, historian and cultural consultant from Leland, Mississippi. He is best known as the curator of the Highway 61 Blues Museum. Johnson's family owned a drug store next door to a cafe where blues artists often played. Johnson knew many blues legends who lived in Leland and realised that many had been honored all over the world but not at home, giving him the idea to start the Highway 61 Blues Museum. He is also President of the Mississippi Wildlife Heritage Museum and the Leland Blues Project Director. Johnson has worked with the Mississippi Blues Commission on the 'Mississippi Blues Trail' that includes nearly 200 Blues Trail markers around the Mississippi state to create an outdoor 'virtual museum'. He has worked with local historians and photographers to put together various exhibitions around Blues Music and 'Outdoorsmen'.
