This black-and-white photograph, titled "George Johnson 5," captures George Mason University's fourth president, George Johnson, speaking into a microphone. Captured by photographer Barry Boyd on September 20, 1979, it showcases a significant moment of leadership and communication during Johnson's presidency. The photo was taken around the same time the School of Law was established along with the opening of the Arlington Campus, significantly broadening the university's academic offerings and physical presence. The image is part of the George Mason University Broadside photograph collection and serves as a poignant example of social documentary photography. It is stored as a 35 mm negative in Box 19, Page 16, Frame 39 of the Special Collections Research Center at George Mason University Libraries.
