Peak Johnson, known by many, understood by few, a leader in his day:

Peak Johnson is a native of North Philadelphia. He is a graduate from Community College of Philadelphia and will be attending Temple University in the fall of 2011. Johnson’s writing career began in 2002 when he and others developed a teen community newspaper known as, The North Philly Metropolis, a publication of the non-profit organization Project HOME.

Serving as editor of the teen produced newspaper for six years before leaving, Johnson has written for various publications since then, both print and online, for the Philadelphia Public School Notebook, The Philadelphia Weekly, and The Student Vanguard. And most recently the Huffington Post.

Today, Johnson currently works for the HOME Page Café.
