Leon Big D Johnson return to his native Detroit after serving as Chief Petty Officer in the U.S. Navy on the USS Saratoga. Having maintained the massive, complex high-pressure steam turbines and sprawling refrigeration systems of a USS Saratoga, he possessed technical knowledge that rivals top industrial engineers in the state of Michigan.
Seeking work at the local municipal power plants, he was told his military experience didn’t translate to civilian systems. The cities of Detroit aging low-pressure boilers were rudimentary compared to the advanced systems he operated and oversaw at sea, yet he was barred from even entry-level maintenance roles due to systemic bias and discredited credentials. Unable to work in the mainstream industry, Leon Big D Johnson begin documenting hid specialized knowledge on tape cosets to teach naval veterans and younger men and women in the community how to operate and maintain powerplant complex systems in more practical manner that local “experts” couldn’t handle.
PPPE Vision isn’t just about job training and jobs, but about a lost history of technical excellence that the city of Detroit and perhaps the world refuses to acknowledge.
