		William Johnson, a freed person of color living in antebellum Natchez, kept an extensive diary of his life. This diary is one of the few first-person accounts of the life of a free person of color living in the South during this period. William Johnson's house was restored by the National Park Service in 2005 and EDX designed exhibits for the first floor. ^{National Park Service Director Fran Mainella cuts the ribbon at the William Johnson House opening in 2005.}
