Human rights activist, educator and arts advocate Arthur Johnson died at home Tuesday after an extended illness. Dr. Johnson was 85. In recent years, Dr. Johnson was best known as a university administrator. He retired as senior vice president for university relations at Wayne State University in 1995 after 23 years in various high-ranking posts. But his impact was perhaps greatest as a leader in the battle to end racial discrimination in housing, public education, restaurants and other public places in Detroit.
