The Michigan Civil Rights Commission has named attorney John E. Johnson, Jr. as interim director of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights.
Johnson currently serves as the department's legislative liaison and special advisor to the commission.
He will begin his duties on Tuesday, June 2 and continue to serve in that capacity until the commission selects a permanent executive director.
The decision to name an interim director was precipitated by the May 17 announcement that MDCR Executive Director James E. White had accepted the position of interim chief of the Detroit Police Department.
Before he was hired by MDCR, Johnson served as executive director of the Michigan Legislative Black Caucus, a position he held for seven years.
Prior to that, Johnson held several leadership positions, including corporation counsel for the city of Detroit, general counsel to the Detroit NAACP, deputy executive director of Wayne County Neighborhood Legal Services and hearing officer for the Michigan Tax Tribunal.
