Cedric A. Johnson was born on the Southside of Chicago, Illinois.  He was reared by his mother in the Dearborn Homes housing projects.

To no one’s surprise, Cedric graduated from Lindblom High School in 1981 and Alabama State University in December 1985. After college, he moved to Atlanta. He is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and Prince Hall F&AM Masons.  He calls Green Forest Community Baptist Church home and is a member of The Brotherhood Choir. He founded Scholar Keeper, Inc., a non-profit corporation based on his belief that to whom much is given, much is required.  This is his tenet, his mantra, his ideology.  He runs this corporation with this additional principle:  Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. 

Cedric is a learned person (Scholar) and one who proves each day that he has genuine and lasting merit (Keeper).  He truly believes that we can always make a difference with what we know.
