CH365 tells stories from Johnson City's rich multicultural history, stories you've probably never heard. This month we hear the story of the Langston school building from Adam Dickson, whose father attended Langston High School. \n\nIn 2019, hundreds of people gathered to celebrate the building that used to be Langston High School, right off of I-26 in Johnson City.

In the first episode of CH365, Adam Dickson tells the history of the building and the role it played in Johnson City's black community.
