The John Thompson Archive

This archive was inspired by a fierce desire to preserve the memory and legacy of John Thompson by his wife, LaVerne Thompson, who received a 2024 Soros Justice Fellowship to complete the project. In collaboration with Freedom to Grow, this archive brings together the recollections of loved ones, friends, family, and those who were touched by the imaginative genius of John Thompson.

John Thompson was born on September 6th, 1962 in New Orleans, LA.
