Throwback Thursday. Thu Feb 19, 2026 - Rev. Peter Johnson stopped by Bonton Wellness Center and reminded us why this work matters.

He came to Dallas in 1969 planning to raise money for a documentary — and stayed to organize a movement, standing shoulder to shoulder with Dr. King and helping launch Operation Breadbasket to fight hunger and economic inequity right here in our city.

In his own words: "People along the way convinced me that there are rewards more valuable than any money can buy."*.

That's the same spirit that grows more than a farm in South Dallas. Bonton Farms exists to disrupt systems of inequity and lay a foundation where health, wholeness, and opportunity are the norm, not the exception. Rev. Johnson broke bread economically decades ago so our community could eat. We're still breaking ground so it can thrive. The movement didn't end. It just put on work boots. 🌱
