Johnson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book addresses the complex social issues surrounding the African American experience in the Southern United States, focusing on efforts to foster goodwill and understanding between races. The author suggests that the Golden Rule can help resolve these tensions and expresses a belief in the potential for progress and equality. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to a protagonist who is passionate about working with the Negro community after being influenced by his abolitionist father. He plans to travel to the South to contribute to the education of freedmen. However, a dramatic airship accident leaves him unconscious, and he awakens a century later in a vastly changed world, grappling with his lost identity and the progress made regarding race relations since his time. As he navigates this new reality, he encounters Irene Davis, a nurse who is actively involved in uplifting the African American community, which leads to discussions about racial dynamics, progress, and historical injustices that have shaped their present.
