A Mother’s Inspiration: 'How My Mom’s Brave Actions Helped Shape My Future'

On February 21, 1961, college students at a historically black college in Sumter, South Carolina participated in a lunch counter sit-in to protest civil rights for all Americans. One of those students: Tillie Bing Bryant, the mother of Wanda Bryant Hope, Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer, Johnson & Johnson. She was arrested for participating, and while in jail, chronicled her desire for equal rights on a roll of toilet paper.

In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the many courageous people like Ms. Bing Bryant who helped advance a more inclusive world, J&J is proud to encourage our employees in the United States and Puerto Rico to give back and serve the communities where they work and live.
