Artist Robert Colescott's father worked as a pullman porter with
Sargent Johnson. Sally Eauclaire mentions this in "One-Two
Punchinello" Artnews (June 1997):104-107 and I also remember Colescott
discussing Sargetn Johnson in a tv production entitled The One-Two
Punch (on vhs) 1992, created & produced by Linda Freeman, Written and
Directed by David Irving, L&S Video, Inc - you should be able to find
this on WorldCat. I imagine exhibition catalogues on Colescott's work
mention his and his father's interaction with Johnson as well.
