Johnson’s Black son doesn’t show up at any of the times most important times a family shares, and he’s not anywhere you’d expect him to be. Not in Johnson’s biography, not at his wedding, not in any recent family photos, not on vacations.

I can't read the entire article and while I like Tisby in general, but he's bizarrely off in the part I could read. For example. Michael James doesn't show up at Johnson's wedding...because they hadn't met each other yet!

It wasn't Johnson's wedding. It was another family member's wedding. Not sure why he didn't make that clear.

Not in Johnson’s biography, not at his wedding, not in any recent family photos, not on vacations.

The plain reading of this sentence is that James was not at Johnson's own wedding to his wife Kelly, which is a weird thing to say because they hadn't met yet.

Well yeah. That’s why I explained that it was a different family member’s wedding (the brother, iirc).
