Johnson, who attended Maggie L. Walker High School, Morgan State University and was drafted by the Boston Patriots in 1964.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn the words of Gayle Jones Carter: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Growing up in Richmond, Virginia, Daryl navigated the streets of our \u003cem\u003esegregated city \u003c\/em\u003eriding the back of buses, as we Blacks were forced to do in the late 50s. He had childish thoughts wondering why God had made him so dark, and why he couldn't look like \"this one\" or \"that one.\" Yes, I gave him all the old clichés about being a \u003cem\u003esweet black berry, \u003c\/em\u003eand we laughed. He agreed with everything I said, and I could not stop laughing!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Daryl told me he was sprinkled with Holy Water at All Souls Presbyterian Church on Overbrook Road, and so was I. He said his baptism gave him a feeling of being \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eprotected \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eand the comfort of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ebelonging. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eEven though his father was absent from the home, his mother made sure she was an everlasting example of leadership and strength for her sons. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Perhaps the absence of a father gave Daryl his strong intestinal fortitude-the \u003cem\u003estrength of mind \u003c\/em\u003ethat enabled him to \u003cem\u003eface danger\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eendure pain \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003echallenge adversity with courage\u003c\/em\u003e. Today, Daryl is a family man, living in Massachusetts... dealing with some ailments that resulted from playing a \u003cem\u003erough and dangerous \u003c\/em\u003esport. He is happy and says he has never been depressed. Daryl is a man speaking his truths and his convictions to all. He \u003cem\u003eloves to laugh \u003c\/em\u003eand enjoys all genres of music, from \u003cem\u003eAve Maria \u003c\/em\u003eto LXW's Great God, to R\u0026amp;B to George Benson, to Yuna's \u003cem\u003eBlank Marquee. \u003c\/em\u003eThe following photographs and documents are treasures from Daryl's collection.
