U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Lithonia, and his wife, newly DeKalb County Commissioner Mereda Davis Johnson, made an unannounced -- and mostly incognito -- appearance at Saturday's Confederate flag rally at Stone Mountain. But the African-American power couple was spotted by former AJC'er and Peach Pundit contributor George Chidi, who captured them on video. He's posted the same on his Facebook page.
Said Hank Johnson:
"When we first entered this area, we were greeted by a couple from South Carolina and their kids … They extended the hand of friendship to us. They were very warm and nice and they explained to us why they were here … Without going into what they explained, I respected what they had to say. With that, we've made our way further into the crowd."
