woman to play in the 2022
Iverson Classic and won the
honor of MVP in the Jordan
Brand Classic after scoring 27
in-game points. At Sprayberry
High School (Marietta, GA),
Johnson received one of the
highest tributes to an athlete by
having her No. 4 jersey retired
after scoring a school-record
1,615 career points. Johnson
also has the opportunity to
profit as a collegiate athlete
through a recent policy the
NCAA adopted known as the
NIL (Name, Image and Like
ness).
The 19-year-old bas
ketball player is also known
as a local Savannah rap legacy
by the name of “Flau’Jae.” Her
rap name comes from her late
father Jason Johnson’s own rap
pseudonym of “Camoflauge.”
The “Cut Friends” rapper was

This square was for
merly named for statesman and
politician John C. Calhoun.
Despite an accomplished ca
reer, including serving as Vice
President and Secretary of War,
Calhoun was a staunch defend
er and champion of the institu
tion of slavery.
After receiving pub
lic comment, Savannah City
Council determined Calhoun’s
legacy did not reflect Savan
nah’s values and on Nov. 10,
2022, voted to remove the
name John C. Calhoun from
the square and engage in a pub
lic process to name the square.
Savannah City Coun
cil determined public property
names shall serve to inspire
our citizens to reflect on indi
viduals of outstanding charac
ter, values, and achievements
in Savannah’s history. The re
moval of Calhoun’s name from
the square offers an opportuni
ty to provide a more inclusive
historical narrative meeting
these goals.
Application require
ments and a general timeline
of the naming process can be
viewed at https://bit.ly/3zk-

plications should be sent to
square@savannahga.gov. City
staff will verify each applica
tion meets the requirements of
Article E. The public will also
have multiple opportunities
to comment on the qualified
proposed names before recom
mendations are made to Savan
nah City Council, which will
vote to adopt a name for the
square in late summer.
Questions about the
naming process and application
requirements can be directed
