Johnnie Richardson was born in 1915. At a young age, his mother, Carrie Richardson confined him to the bed in a misguided attempt to preserve his health. Consequently, Johnnie became bedridden and spent nearly 60 years confined to a single room in a home which for years had no electricity or running water.
